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 .
