## Problem 75

Let $\Q$ denote the set of rational numbers (i.e., fractions of integers). Let $V$ denote the set of the form $x+y \sqrt{2}$ where $x,y \in \Q$. You may take for granted that the set $V$ is a vector space over the field $\Q$.

(a) Show that $B=\{1, \sqrt{2}\}$ is a basis for the vector space $V$ over $\Q$.

(b) Let $\alpha=a+b\sqrt{2} \in V$, and let $T_{\alpha}: V \to V$ be the map defined by
$T_{\alpha}(x+y\sqrt{2}):=(ax+2by)+(ay+bx)\sqrt{2}\in V$ for any $x+y\sqrt{2} \in V$.
Show that $T_{\alpha}$ is a linear transformation.

(c) Let $\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \end{bmatrix}_B=x+y \sqrt{2}$.
Find the matrix $T_B$ such that
$T_{\alpha} (x+y \sqrt{2})=\left( T_B\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \end{bmatrix}\right)_B,$ and compute $\det T_B$.

## Problem 66

Consider the matrix
$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 &5 &4 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}.$

(a) Calculate the inverse matrix $A^{-1}$. If you think the matrix $A$ is not invertible, then explain why.

(b) Are the vectors
$\mathbf{A}_1=\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}, \mathbf{A}_2=\begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 5 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}, \text{ and } \mathbf{A}_3=\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 4 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ linearly independent?

(c) Write the vector $\mathbf{b}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$ as a linear combination of $\mathbf{A}_1$, $\mathbf{A}_2$, and $\mathbf{A}_3$.
