Solution

The image you've uploaded contains a math exam or worksheet focused on linear algebra, specifically matrix operations. To address the problems and explain solutions, I'll need to transcribe the questions. Let me extract the information from the image and analyze it.


Questions:

  1. Prove that for all AM2(R)A \in M_2(\mathbb{R}), A2=0A^2 = 0 (null matrix) implies that AA is similar to the matrix:

    0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$$ Show the condition under which the operator $$A$$ is not diagonalizable.
  2. Find the matrix of a linear operator LL with respect to the basis (e1,e2)(e_1, e_2), given: L(e1)=e2,L(e2)=0L(e_1) = e_2, \quad L(e_2) = 0

  3. Let A=(210020101)A = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, find AnA^n for any nNn \in \mathbb{N}.

  4. Give an example of two 2×22 \times 2 real matrices AA and BB such that AB=BAAB = BA, but ABA \neq B, and neither AA nor BB is a scalar matrix.

  5. Let AM2(R)A \in M_2(\mathbb{R}), show that if AA is diagonalizable, then there exists PGL2(R)P \in GL_2(\mathbb{R}) such that P1AP=DP^{-1} A P = D, where DD is a diagonal matrix. Compute AnA^n in this case.

  6. Let A=(1001)A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} and B=(0110)B = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ -1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}. Show that AB=BAA B = BA.

  7. Let AMn(R)A \in M_n(\mathbb{R}) such that A2=AA^2 = A, find all eigenvalues of AA.

  8. Compute the matrix AnA^n for the following matrix AA: A=(0100)A = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}

  9. If AM2(R)A \in M_2(\mathbb{R}), show that if A2=0A^2 = 0, then AA is similar to the matrix (0100)\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}.


Would you like me to start with the solution for a particular problem? Or shall I go through them in order?

Here are 5 relative questions to expand the discussion:

  1. How does matrix diagonalization relate to similar matrices?
  2. What does it mean for a matrix to be idempotent (A2=AA^2 = A) in terms of its eigenvalues?
  3. How can you determine if a matrix is diagonalizable from its Jordan form?
  4. What is the significance of a nilpotent matrix, where An=0A^n = 0?
  5. How can you compute matrix powers efficiently, especially for triangular or block matrices?

Tip: When working with matrix powers, it's useful to know their eigenvalues since AnA^n behaves simply if you diagonalize the matrix.
