Math Problem Statement

Q.3 For the below matrices i) Find the eigen values and the eigen vectors. ii) Verify Cayley-Hamilton Theorem. iii)Check if they are diagonalisable, if yes find the diagonal and transforming matrix. A= [■(9&-1&9@-1&-1&3@-7&1&-7)]

Solution

Matrix Given:

A=[919113717]A = \begin{bmatrix} 9 & -1 & 9 \\ -1 & -1 & 3 \\ -7 & 1 & -7 \end{bmatrix}

Let's address each part of the question:

Part i) Find the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

To find the eigenvalues of matrix AA, we solve the characteristic equation:

det(AλI)=0\text{det}(A - \lambda I) = 0

Where λ\lambda is the eigenvalue, II is the identity matrix, and det\text{det} represents the determinant.

Part ii) Verify Cayley-Hamilton Theorem

The Cayley-Hamilton theorem states that every square matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation. This means that if the characteristic equation of matrix AA is:

p(λ)=det(AλI)=0p(\lambda) = \text{det}(A - \lambda I) = 0

Then, the matrix AA satisfies:

p(A)=0p(A) = 0

Part iii) Check if the Matrix is Diagonalizable

A matrix is diagonalizable if there are nn linearly independent eigenvectors for an n×nn \times n matrix. If AA is diagonalizable, we can write:

A=PDP1A = P D P^{-1}

Where DD is the diagonal matrix of eigenvalues, and PP is the matrix whose columns are the corresponding eigenvectors of AA.
