Question
Complete these matrices so that det A = 25. Then check that A = 5 is repeatedthe trace is 10 so the determinant of A - AI is (A - 5)2. Find an eigenvector with Ax = 5x. These matrices will not be diagonalizable because there is no second line of eigenvectors.
Solution
The first step in solving 6.2 problem number 13 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Complete these matrices so that det A = 25. Then check that A = 5 is repeatedthe trace is 10 so the determinant of A - AI is (A - 5)2. Find an eigenvector with Ax = 5x. These matrices will not be diagonalizable because there is no second line of eigenvectors.
From the textbook chapter Diagonalizing a Matrix you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
