Problem 8. Consider the 3 x 3 symmetric matrix over R 2 -2 A = 2 -2 -2 -2 6 (i) Let X be an mxn matrix. The column rank of X is the maximum number of linearly independent columns. The row rank is the maximum number of linearly independent rows. The row rank and the column rank of X are equal (called the rank of X). Find the rank of A and denote it by k. (ii) Locate a k x k submatrix of A having rank k. (iii) Find 3 x 3 permutation matrices P and Q such that in the matrix PAQ the submatrix from (ii) is in the upper left portion of A.
