1. Find the inverse of matrix

Å1 i ã

A =

1 −i

by finding the matrix B such that AB = I and then double check BA = I.

2. Let A represent the matrix corresponding to rotate a 2-dimensional vector for 45 degree (), i.e.,

Ç                   å

,

given vector

Å √0 ã,

b =

2 2

find the solution to Ax = b using the following three different approaches. You should reach to the same answers for all approaches.

• Expand the linear equation system into two equations with two unknowns and then solve for x using elimination, substitution (what you learned in algebra class).
• Find x directly by using the fact that A applied one a vector is to rotate the vector for 45 degree. Think about how to reserve the transformation.
• Prove A is an orthogonal matrix first and use the fact to find the inverse of A, and then find x by calculating A⁻¹x.
