For which values of constants a, b, and c are the matrices in Exercises 40 through 50 diagonalizable?

A=[1a0b]

Short Answer

Expert verified

The matrixa,bx\1U0,1

Step by step solution

01

Characteristic equation 

Consider an n 脳n matrix A and a scalar 位. Then 位 is an eigenvalue5 of A.

det(A-位濒)=0

This is called the characteristic equation (or the secular equation) of matrix A.

02

Solution of the problem

We solve:

detA-位濒=01-a0b-=01-b-=01=1,2=b

For b1, using Ex. 41, we conclude that A is diagonalizable for arbitrary a. For b = 1, though, using Ex. 40, we conclude that A is only diagonalizable for a=0.

Here, the final result is a,bx\1U0,1.
