If you submitted the early homework by 5:00 Wednesday, you don't need to
turn in problems
2.1 #11, 2.2 #27, 2.3 #5 and 31, or 2.4 #15 on Friday.
Question 1:
Let B be a 3 by 3 matrix, and let C be the matrix
obtained from B by adding twice row 1 to row 3,
and switching row 1 with row 2.
Find a matrix A such that C=AB. (No justification is required.)
Question 2:
Let N=

.
N is invertible. Find N-1. Show every step
in your work.
Question 3:
Let I represent the nxn identity matrix, and let
A be any nxn matrix.
Let E be the block matrix

.
Is E invertible? If so, find E-1.
(Hint: If n=1, you could write down the answer without doing
any work. Will the same techniques apply in general?)
