Before proceeding, it might be helpful to look over the help pages for the <code>diag</code>, <code>t</code>, <code>eigen</code>, and <code>crossprod</code> functions. If you want further documentation also consider chapter 5.7 from “An Introduction to R”.</p>
<p>Answers to the exercises are available <a target="_blank" href="http://r-exercises.com/2016/08/22/matrix-operations-solutions/">here</a>.</p>
<p>If you obtained a different (correct) answer than those listed on the solutions page, please feel free to post your answer as a comment.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 1</strong></p>
<p>Consider <code>A=matrix(c(2,0,1,3), ncol=2)</code> and <code>B=matrix(c(5,2,4,-1), ncol=2).</code><br>
a) Find <b> A</b> + <b> B</b><br>
b) Find <b> A</b> – <b> B</b></p>
<p><strong>Exercise 2</strong></p>
<p>Scalar multiplication. Find the solution for a<b>A</b> where <code>a=3</code> and <b>A</b> is the same as in the previous question.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 3</strong></p>
<p>Using the the <code>diag </code> function build a diagonal matrix of size 4 with the following values in the diagonal 4,1,2,3.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 4</strong></p>
<p>Find the solution for <b>Ab,</b> where <b>A</b> is the same as in the previous question and <code>b=c(7,4).</code></p>
<p><strong>Exercise 5</strong></p>
<p>Find the solution for <b>AB,</b> where <b> B</b> is the same as in question 1.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 6</strong></p>
<p>Find the transpose matrix of <b>A.</b></p>
<p><strong>Exercise 7</strong></p>
<p>Find the inverse matrix of <b>A.</b></p>
<p><strong>Exercise 8</strong></p>
<p>Find the value of x on <b>Ax</b>=<b>b.</b></p>
<p><strong>Exercise 9</strong></p>
<p>Using the function <code> eigen </code> find the eigenvalue for <b>A</b>.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 10</strong></p>
<p>Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of <b> A’A </b>. <b>Hint</b>: Use<code> crossprod</code> to compute <b> A’A </b>.</p>
