Problems #4 on pg.121 and #1, pg.167 are graded.

#4,pg.121: Compute the product of partitioned matrices [I0EI][WXYZ] (assume the partitions chosen make sense for multiplication).
Solution: Compute the same way as "normal" matrix multiplication: [I0EI][WXYZ]=[IW+0YIX+0ZEW+IYEX+IZ]=[WXEW+YEX+Z].

#1, pg.167: Compute det.
Solution: Compute \begin{array}{ll} \det \begin{bmatrix} 3&0&4 \\ 2&3&2 \\ 0&5&-1 \end{bmatrix} &= 3 \det \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix} - 0 \det \begin{bmatrix} 2&2 \\ 0&-1 \end{bmatrix} + 4 \det \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \\ &= 3(-3-10)-0(-2-0)+4(10-0) \\ &= -39-0+40 \\ &= 1. \end{array}
