Question
Consider all 4 by 4 matrices A that are diagonalized by the same fixed eigenvector matrix S. Show that the A's form a subspace (cA and Al + A2 have this same S). What is this subspace when S = I? What is its dimension?
Solution
The first step in solving 6.2 problem number 24 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Consider all 4 by 4 matrices A that are diagonalized by the same fixed eigenvector matrix S. Show that the A's form a subspace (cA and Al + A2 have this same S). What is this subspace when S = I? What is its dimension?
From the textbook chapter Diagonalizing a Matrix you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
