Show that \(I - A\) is invertible when all the eigenvalues of \(A\) are less than 1 in magnitude. (Hint: What would be true if \(I - A\) were not invertible?)
For the Matrices A find real closed formulas for the trajectory where
Question: Diagonalize the matrices in Exercises \({\bf{7--20}}\), if possible. The eigenvalues for Exercises \({\bf{11--16}}\) are as follows:\(\left( {{\bf{11}}} \right)\lambda {\bf{ = 1,2,3}}\); \(\left( {{\bf{12}}} \right)\lambda {\bf{ = 2,8}}\); \(\left( {{\bf{13}}} \right)\lambda {\bf{ = 5,1}}\); \(\left( {{\bf{14}}} \right)\lambda {\bf{ = 5,4}}\); \(\left( {{\bf{15}}} \right)\lambda {\bf{ = 3,1}}\); \(\left( {{\bf{16}}} \right)\lambda {\bf{ = 2,1}}\). For exercise \({\bf{18}}\), one eigenvalue is \(\lambda {\bf{ = 5}}\) and one eigenvector is \(\left( {{\bf{ - 2,}}\;{\bf{1,}}\;{\bf{2}}} \right)\).

Suppose \(A\) is diagonalizable and \(p\left( t \right)\) is the characteristic polynomial of \(A\). Define \(p\left( A \right)\) as in Exercise 5, and show that \(p\left( A \right)\) is the zero matrix. This fact, which is also true for any square matrix, is called the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.
Let\(D = \left\{ {{{\bf{d}}_1},{{\bf{d}}_2}} \right\}\) and \(B = \left\{ {{{\bf{b}}_1},{{\bf{b}}_2}} \right\}\) be bases for vector space \(V\) and \(W\), respectively. Let \(T:V \to W\) be a linear transformation with the property that
\(T\left( {{{\bf{d}}_1}} \right) = 2{{\bf{b}}_1} - 3{{\bf{b}}_2}\), \(T\left( {{{\bf{d}}_2}} \right) = - 4{{\bf{b}}_1} + 5{{\bf{b}}_2}\)
Find the matrix for \(T\) relative to \(D\), and\(B\).
