Consider an matrix such that the sum of the entries in each row is . Show that the vector
In is an eigenvector of A. What is the corresponding eigenvalue?
Consider the linear space of allmatrices for which all the vectorsare eigenvectors. Describe the space(the matrices in"have a name"), and determine the dimension of.
For each of the matrices in Exercises 1 through 13, find all real eigenvalues, with their algebraic multiplicities. Show your work. Do not use technology.
Find a matrix A such that and are eigenvectors of A , with eigenvalues 5 and 10 , respectively.
Three holy men (let’s call them Anselm, Benjamin, and Caspar) put little stock in material things; their only earthly possession is a small purse with a bit of gold dust. Each day they get together for the following bizarre bonding ritual: Each of them takes his purse and gives his gold away to the two others, in equal parts. For example, if Anselm has 4 ounces one day, he will give 2 ounces each to Benjamin and Caspar.
(a) If Anselm starts out with 6 ounces, Benjamin with 1 ounce, and Caspar with 2 ounces, find formulas for the amounts a(t), b(t), and c(t) each will have after tdistributions.
Hint: The vector , and will be useful.
(b) Who will have the most gold after one year, that is, after 365 distributions?
