Express the given matrix $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ 2 & 1 & 5 \cr 4 & 8 & {13} \cr 6 & {27} & {31} \cr } } \right]$$
as a product of triangular matrices $$L$$ and $$U$$ where the diagonal elements of the lower triangular matrices $$L$$ are unity and $$U$$ is an upper triangular matrix.

The inverse of the matrix $$S = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & { - 1} & 0 \cr 1 & 1 & 1 \cr 0 & 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$ is

Given the matrix $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ 0 & 1 & 0 \cr 0 & 0 & 1 \cr { - 6} & { - 11} & { - 6} \cr } } \right].\,\,$$ Its eigen values are

The rank of the following $$(n+1)$$ $$x$$ $$(n+1)$$ matrix, where $$'a'$$ is a real number is $$$\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & a & {{a^2}} & . & . & . & {{a^n}} \cr 1 & a & {{a^2}} & . & . & . & {{a^n}} \cr . & {} & {} & {} & {} & {} & {} \cr . & {} & {} & {} & {} & {} & {} \cr 1 & a & {{a^2}} & . & . & . & {{a^n}} \cr } } \right]$$$
