Matrices and vectors Name:

1. Below are several examples of Ax=y (where A is a matrix and x and y are vectors).
You are given Ax and asked to find y. In each case note whether y is parallel to x or
not.
"1 2% "1% " %
a. $ '$ '=$ ' parallel/not parallel
# 3 1& #0& # &

"1 2% "1% " %


b. $ '$ '=$ ' parallel/not parallel
# 3 1& #2& # &

"1 2% "(1% " %


c. $ '$ '=$ ' parallel/not parallel
# 3 1& # 1 & # &

"1 2% " % " %


d. $ '$ '=$ ' parallel/not parallel
# 3 1& # & # &
(In this case pick your own vector x)

2. How can you tell if two vectors are parallel?

3. In general, does matrix multiplication change the magnitude of a vector? The


direction? Explain your reasoning.
