The document you uploaded contains a set of 4 linear algebra problems for an assignment. Let's solve each one step by step:
1. Eigenvalues and Eigenspaces of Matrix A
Matrix is given as:
1 & 3 & 5 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 0 & 1 & -2 \end{pmatrix}$$ To find the eigenvalues, we need to solve the characteristic equation: $$\text{det}(A - \lambda I) = 0$$ Where $$I$$ is the identity matrix, and $$\lambda$$ represents the eigenvalue. Let's calculate the determinant and solve for the eigenvalues. --- ### 2. Formula for $$A^n$$ using $$P^{-1}AP$$ We are given: $$A = \begin{pmatrix} 8 & 18 \\ -3 & -7 \end{pmatrix}, \quad P = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ We are asked to find a formula for $$A^n$$ for $$n \in \mathbb{N}$$ using the transformation $$P^{-1}AP$$. We can first diagonalize $$A$$ by computing $$P^{-1}AP$$, which should give us a diagonal matrix $$D$$. From there, $$A^n$$ can be expressed as: $$A^n = P D^n P^{-1}$$ We'll calculate $$P^{-1}$$, $$P^{-1}AP$$, and derive the formula for $$A^n$$. --- ### 3. Similarity of Matrices A and B Given the matrices: $$A = \begin{pmatrix} \lambda & 0 \\ 0 & \mu \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} \mu & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda \end{pmatrix}$$ We need to determine whether these matrices are similar based on the values of $$\lambda$$ and $$\mu$$. Matrices $$A$$ and $$B$$ are similar if there exists an invertible matrix $$P$$ such that: $$P^{-1}AP = B$$ We will investigate the conditions under which this is true. --- ### 4. Properties of Diagonalizable Matrices We are asked to prove the following properties for a diagonalizable matrix $$A$$: - (a) $$A^r$$ is diagonalizable for any $$r \in \mathbb{N}$$. - (b) If $$A$$ is invertible, then $$A^{-1}$$ is diagonalizable. - (c) $$A^T$$ (the transpose of $$A$$) is diagonalizable. For each part, we will use the fact that if a matrix is diagonalizable, it can be written as $$A = PDP^{-1}$$, where $$D$$ is a diagonal matrix. --- I'll now proceed with the calculations for the first question and provide step-by-step solutions for all the questions.
