Example 1: Positive Definite Matrix

Is the symmetric matrix $[\begin{array}{r} 7 & 4 & 1 \\ 4 & 5 & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 6 \end{array}]$ positive definite?

•	Control-drag the given matrix. Context Panel: Student Linear Algebra≻Queries≻ Is Definite?≻Positive Definite?

$[\begin{array}{r} 7 & 4 & 1 \\ 4 & 5 & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 6 \end{array}]$ $\overset{is positive definite?}{\to}$ $true$

Typically, definiteness is assigned to bilinear forms $x^{T} A x$ derived from the symmetric matrix $A$ . If $A$ is not symmetric, the associated bilinear form can be represented by $x^{T} B x$ , where $B = (A + A^{T}) / 2$ , the "symmetric part of $A$ " is symmetric. Hence, Maple assigns definiteness to the symmetric part of a nonsymmetric matrix on the grounds that the matrix represents a bilinear form.

Example 2: Similar Matrices

Example 1: Four Fundamental Subspaces of a 5×3

Find the row space, column space, null space, and null space of the transpose for the matrix

$[\begin{array}{r} 32 & - 8 & - 4 \\ - 40 & 10 & 5 \\ - 32 & 8 & 4 \\ 8 & - 2 & - 1 \\ 72 & - 18 & - 9 \end{array}]$

(Gilbert Strang of MIT calls these the four fundamental subspaces of $A$ .)

The 5×3 matrix $A$ maps ${&reals;}^{3}$ to ${&reals;}^{5}$ . Maple provides bases for each of the four fundamental subspaces.

The row and null spaces of $A$ are orthogonal subspaces of ${&reals;}^{3}$ ; the column space of $A$ and the null space of $A^{T}$ are orthogonal subspaces in ${&reals;}^{5}$ . Figure 4 illustrates the relationships between these four subspaces.
