QUESTION:

a. Suppose  is a symmetric  matrix satisfying, .  Use Spectral theorem to give a complete description of .

b. What happens for a symmetric  matrix satisfying  for some integer ?  

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

It is given that  is a symmetric  matrix satisfying the condition,

.

The Spectral theorem is stated as,

Let  be a symmetric  matrix.  Then the Eigen values of  are real and there is an orthonormal basis  for  consisting of Eigen vectors of, .  That is, there is an orthogonal matrix  such that,

 is diagonal.

To find

a. The description of .

b. What happens for a symmetric  matrix, satisfying  for some integer .
