Math Problem Statement

yes

Solution

The matrix X1AXX^{-1}AX is:

X1AX=(51.05×10153.58×10161)X^{-1}AX = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 1.05 \times 10^{-15} \\ 3.58 \times 10^{-16} & 1 \end{pmatrix}

This is effectively a diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues 55 and 11 on the diagonal. The very small off-diagonal elements are due to numerical approximations and can be considered zero.

This confirms that the matrix XX is correct and that X1AXX^{-1}AX is diagonal as required.
