Question: Is \(\lambda = - 2\) an eigenvalue of \(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}7&3\\3&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right)\)? Why or why not?
Question: Repeat Exercise 35, assuming u and v are eigenvectors of A that correspond to eigenvalues -1 and 3, respectively.
Question 20: Use a property of determinants to show that \(A\) and \({A^T}\) have the same characteristic polynomial.
The trace of a square matrix \(A\) is the sum of the diagonal entries in A and is denoted by \({\mathop{\rm tr}\nolimits} A\). It can be verified that \({\mathop{\rm tr}\nolimits} \left( {FG} \right) = {\mathop{\rm tr}\nolimits} \left( {GF} \right)\) for any \(n \times n\) matrices Fand G. Show that if A and B are similar, then \({\mathop{\rm tr}\nolimits} A = {\mathop{\rm tr}\nolimits} B\).
Question: For the matrices in Exercises 15-17, list the eigenvalues, repeated according to their multiplicities.
15. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}4&- 7&0&2\\0&3&- 4&6\\0&0&3&{ - 8}\\0&0&0&1\end{array}} \right]\)
