This illustrates that in practice we often want to compute linear combinationsof rows and columns in a context where we really aren’t interested in anyassociated linear maps.̌ 3.26 The need to take linear combinations of rows and columns in tables of numbersarises often in practice. For instance, this is a map of part of Vermont and NewYork.SwantonIn part because of Lake Champlain,there are no roads directly connectingsome pairs of towns. For instance,there is no way to go fromWinooski to Grand Isle without goingthrough Colchester. (To simplifythe graph many other roadsand towns have been omitted. Fromtop to bottom of this map is aboutforty miles.)Grand IsleColchesterWinooskiBurlington(a) The incidence matrix of a map is the square matrix whose i, j entry is thenumber of roads from city i to city j. Produce the incidence matrix of this map(take the cities in alphabetical order).(b) A matrix is symmetric if it equals its transpose. Show that an incidencematrix is symmetric.
