The verification holds. The solutions are x=0,y=−3,z=−1
b)
(AB)k=k times(AB)(AB)…(AB)=k timesAA…Ak timesB…BB=AkBk
c)
(AB)k=AkBk=0Bk=0AB is nilpotent, the nilpotent degree of is less or equal than 0
d)
(I−A)(I+A+⋯+Ak−1)=I(I+A+⋯+Ak−1)−A(I+A+⋯+Ak−1)=(I+A+⋯+Ak−1)−(A+A2+⋯+Ak)=I−Ak=I−0=I
The equation is proved.
e)
6. Rotation matrices
a)
Let ϕ=2πA=Q(2π)=[cos(2π)sin(2π)sin(2π)cos(2π)]=[01−10]
b)

c)
Let A=Q(ϕ)
and let B=Q(2π−ϕ)AB=Q(ϕ)Q(2π−ϕ)=Q(ϕ+2π−ϕ)=Q(2π)=[1001]=IBA=Q(2π−ϕ)Q(ϕ)=Q(2π−ϕ+ϕ)=Q(2π)=[1001]=I
