Question
a. Use Theorem 5.2.1 to show that the following matrix is diagonalizable.
\(A=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}-13 & -60 & -60 \\10 & 42 & 40 \\-5 & -20 & -18\end{array}\right]\)
b. Find a matrix \(P\) that diagonalizes \(A\).
c. Use the method of Example 6 to compute \(A^{10}\), and check your result by computing \(A^{10}\) directly.
Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: a. Use Theorem 5.2.1 to show that the following matrix is diagonalizable.\(A=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}-13 & -60 & -60 \\10 & 42 & 40 \\-5 & -20 & -18\end{array}\right]\)b. Find a matrix \(P\) that diagonalizes \(A\). c. Use the method of Example 6 to compute \(A^{10}\), and check your result by computing \(A^{10}\) directly.
From the textbook chapter Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
