(See Solution) Let


Question: Let

\[A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 2 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]\]
  1. Compute the determinant of A using Laplace-expansion by column 3. Report all steps in the process. No marks will be awarded for an unsupported answer.
  1. Is A nonsingular? Briefly explain.
  2. What is the trace of \(\mathrm{A}^{10}\) ? Briefly explain.

(c) Let

\[B=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 3 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 5 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]\]
  1. Derive the determinant of \(\mathrm{B}\).
  2. Derive the cofactor matrix of \(B\).
  3. Derive the adjoint matrix of \(\mathrm{B}\).
    ìv) Derive the inverse matrix of \(\mathrm{B}\).
