Derive the matrix of translation in 2-dimensional plane? Why its first 2 column is identity matrix
Check whether the forms
2x^2+3y^2+5z^2−4xz−6yz

and 4x^2+3y^2+z^2−6xy−2xz

are orthogonally equivalent
Q. Derive the translation matrix? Why we take its first 3 column identify matrix.
A tank is fitted with two taps A and B of different size. If both the taps are opened simultaneously it takes 4 hours to fill the tank. If only tap A is opened for 1 hour and then only tap is opened for 4 hours the tank becomes half. Find the time taken by tap B alone to fill the tank.

A 6 hours

B 8 hours

C 12 hours

D 14 hours
Which of the following statements are true and which are false? Justify your answer with a short proof or a counterexample.

i) Subtraction is a binary operation on N.

ii) If{ v1, v2,..., vn} is a basis for vector space V,{ v1+ v2+···+ vn, v2, ..., vn} is also a basis for V.

iii) If W1 and W2 are subspaces of vector space V and W1+W2 =V, then W1∩W2 ={0}.

iv) The rank of a matrix equals its number of nonzero rows.

v) The row-reduced echelon form of an invertible matrix is the identity matrix.

vi) If the characteristic polynomial of a linear transformation is (x−1)(x−2), its minimal polynomial is x−1 or x−2.

vii) If zero is an eigenvalue of a linear transformation T, then T is not invertible.
