Homework Statement
Let X be an invertible 2011 X 2011 matrix, let I be the 2011 identity matrix.
Let B=[[X,I],[I,X-1]] and let p=e1+e2+e3+...+e2011.
(The terms in the square brackets represent the rows of the matrix, so [X,I] is the first row)
Find a non-zero vector q, such that Bq=0.
Use partitioned matrix notation to write q explicitly in terms of p , and to display the calculation which shows that Bq=0.
The Attempt at a Solution
None. I have no idea what to do. The only thing that stands out to me is that
q is a 4022 X 1 vector and that p is a 2011 X 1 vector, so q must look something like:
q=([tp],[sp]) where t and s are real numbers
