QUESTION:

[M] Use a matrix program to diagonalize

\(A=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} -3 & -2 & 0 \\ 14 & 7 & -1 \\ -6 & -3 & 1 \end{array}\right]\)

if possible. Use the eigenvalue command to create the diagonal matrix D. If the program has a command that produces eigenvectors, use it to create an invertible matrix P. Then compute AP - PD and \(PDP^-1\). Discuss your results.

ANSWER:

Solution 25E

Consider the matrix,

To compute the matrices  and , use matrix program as follows:

Enter the matrix A:

A=[-3,-2,0;14,7,-1;-6,-3,1]

A =

-3 -2 0

14 7 -1

-6 -3 1

Enter the command to find eigenvalues of (A):

e = eig(A)

e =

2.0000

2.0000
