Question: Define matrices A = a 0 1 a , B = b 1 0 b . Show that AB = BA
Define matrices A =
a 0 1 a
, B =
b 1 0 b
.
Show that AB = BA and that eAeB = ea+b
1 1 1 2
eA+B = ea+b
cosh(1) 1 0 0 1
+ sinh(1) 0 1 1 0
.
Hence, eAeB = eA+B. (Hint: Use Problem 10 to calculate eA and eB.
For eA+B write A + B = (a + b)I + R with R satisfying R2 = I.)
