For a given eigenvalue, find a basis of the associated eigenspace. Use the geometric multiplicities of the eigenvalues to determine whether a matrix is diagonalizable. For each of the matrices A in Exercises 1 through 20, find all (real) eigenvalues. Then find a basis of each eigenspace, and diagonalize A, if you can. Do not use technology
25: Consider a positive transition matrix
meaning that a, b, c, and dare positive numbers such that a+ c= b+ d= 1. (The matrix in Exercise 24 has this form.) Verify that
and
are eigenvectors of A. What are the associated eigenvalues? Is the absolute value of these eigenvalues more or less than 1?
Sketch a phase portrait.
Arguing geometrically, find all eigen vectors and eigen values of the linear transformations. In each case, find an eigen basis if you can, and thus determine whether the given transformation is diagonalizable.
The linear transformation with, and for the vectorsandin sketched below.
Consider the matrixwhere k is an arbitrary constant. For which values of k does A have two distinct real eigenvalues? When is there no real eigenvalue?
Find a basis of the linear space V of all matrices Afor which bothandare eigenvectors, and thus determine the dimension of.
