Question: A is a \({\bf{7}} \times {\bf{7}}\) matrix with three eigenvalues. One eigenspace is two-dimensional and one of the other eigenspaces is three-dimensional. Is it possible that A is not diagonalizable? Justify your answer.
Question 19: Let \(A\) be an \(n \times n\) matrix, and suppose A has \(n\) real eigenvalues, \({\lambda _1},...,{\lambda _n}\), repeated according to multiplicities, so that \(\det \left( {A - \lambda I} \right) = \left( {{\lambda _1} - \lambda } \right)\left( {{\lambda _2} - \lambda } \right) \ldots \left( {{\lambda _n} - \lambda } \right)\) . Explain why \(\det A\) is the product of the n eigenvalues of A. (This result is true for any square matrix when complex eigenvalues are considered.)
Let \(A\) be a real \(2 \times 2\) matrix with a complex eigenvalue \(\lambda = a - bi\)\(\left( {b \ne 0} \right)\) and an associated eigenvector \({\bf{v}}\) in \({\mathbb{}^2}\).
In Exercises \({\bf{3}}\) and \({\bf{4}}\), use the factorization \(A = PD{P^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\) to compute \({A^k}\) where \(k\) represents an arbitrary positive integer.
4. \(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}&{12}\\{ - 1}&5\end{array}} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}3&4\\1&1\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2&0\\0&1\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 1}&4\\1&{ - 3}\end{array}} \right)\)
Question: In Exercises 31 and 32, let A be the matrix of the linear transformation T. Without writing A, find an eigenvalue of A and describe the eigenspace.
31. T is the transformation on \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) that reflects points across some line through origin.
