From Tania: If a driver falls asleep at the wheel of a newer model car and slams into
the rear of a parked classic mustang (2860-3280lb) and the parked car
is thrown 100 ft across the street, what would be the minimum speed
required by the newer car in order to move the mustang? Answered by Penny Nom. |

Two matrix problems |
2005-03-30 |
|
From Sue: Question 1
Suppose all matrices in the equation below are square and invertible. Solve for x .
BA-1XB-1 + 2BA + In = 0 (the symbol "0" here denotes the matrix of all 0's in it)
Also, A-1 or B-1 is indicating inverse and "In" = for example, A-1 times A
I hope you understand the above. I have to show all the steps.
Question 2
Suppose we consider the set of all 2x2 matrices along with the operations of matrix addition and multiplication. Do they form a field? Why or why not?
I think the answer is no because under multiplication it is not commutative and not all square matrices are invertible. I not positive so I'd like some help. Answered by Penny Nom. |

A matrix construction problem |
2005-03-14 |
|
From Marcelo: I want to know if is it possible to solve this problem:
I have an empty NxM matrix and I know totals (sum) by rows and totals by column.
Is there any algorithm to fill the matrix so that the summary of columns and rows gives the original values I have? Answered by Harley Weston. |

From Guy: Is there a way to get the sums of rows, columns and diagonals of an n x n matrix to reconstruct the original matrix? Answered by Walter Whiteley and Patrick Maidorn. |
