    Tutorial 7

    Uploaded by

    Stefanos van Dijk
    This document contains instructions for two in-class exercises on linear algebra. It provides the context and questions for each exercise. The first exercise asks students to find the minimum distance between two non-parallel and non-intersecting lines in 3D space. It then provides specific vectors to apply the method to. The second exercise involves analyzing a specific 4x4 matrix, including finding its eigenvalues and verifying properties related to the trace. It asks students to solve parts a-d related to the matrix. Students are instructed to solve each exercise in groups of up to four during the 30 minute tutorials with TA assistance. They must also present at least one solution during the 8 week course.

    Exercise sheet 7
    In-class-exercise T21
    Let s1 , v1 , s2 , v2 be fixed, three-dimentional vectors. Consider two lines Li = {si + αvi : α ∈ R} for
    i = 1, 2. Assume that the vectors have been chosen in such a way that the lines are non-parallel
    and don’t intersect.

    a) Give a general procedure to obtain pi ∈ Li such that ∥p1 − p2 ∥ = dist(L1 , L2 ) where the
    distance between lines is defined to be the smallest distance between all pairs of points on
    the lines.
    b) Apply your method to the lines obtained by
           
    2 4 3 9
    s1 = 9 , v1 = 4 , s2 = 9 v2 = 2
    5 3 0 9

    In-class-exercise T22
    Consider the matrix A  
    3 0 −2 2
    −2 1 2 −2
     
     2 0 −1 2
    −2 0 2 −1

    a) Verify that λ1 = 1, λ2 = −1 are eigenvalues of A.


    b) What are the geometric and algebraic multiplicities of λ1 , λ2 .
    c) Are there any other eigenvalues?

    d) There is a theorem that states that the trace of a matrix equals the sum of its eigenvalues
    up to multiplicity. Verify that this is indeed the case for A.

    The remaining time of the tutorial can be used to discuss the Sowiso-exercises of Lecture 13 and
    Homework 2.

    Each of the inclass-exercises are supposed to be solved during the tutorials within about 30 minutes. This can be
    done in groups of up to four students and the TA will assist you in finding a solution. Afterwards the solution will
    be presented by one student, the TA will moderate this presentation and the following discussion.
    Attention: Each student has to present at least one solution (also possible in the computer tutorials) during the
    8 weeks of the course. You can prepare the inclass-exercise also before the tutorial and contact the TA if you want
    to present the solution.
