If $\overset{鈬赌}{v}$ is any nonzero vector in $R^{2}$ , what is the dimension of the space Vof all $2 脳 2$ matrices for which $\overset{鈬赌}{v}$ is an eigenvector?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Hence, the required dimension is 3.

Step by step solution

Definition of the Eigenvectors

Eigenvectors are a nonzero vector that is mapped by a given linear transformation of a vector space onto a vector that is the product of a scalar multiplied by the original vector.

Find the dimension

If $\overset{鈬赌}{v}$ is and non-zero vector in $R^{2}$ we want to find the dimension of the space V of all matrices for which $\overset{鈬赌}{v}$ is an Eigenvector.

Let A be a matrix in V .

Then let:

$A = [\begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix}] a n d \overset{鈬赌}{v} = [\begin{matrix} v_{1} \\ v_{2} \end{matrix}]$

We will use the definition of eigenvector to see for with $\overset{鈬赌}{A v^{i}}$ an eigenvector.

$[\begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix}] [\begin{matrix} v_{1} \\ v_{2} \end{matrix}] = 位 [\begin{matrix} v_{1} \\ v_{2} \end{matrix}] [\begin{matrix} a v_{1} + b v_{2} \\ c v_{1} + d v^{2} \end{matrix}] = 位 [\begin{matrix} v_{1} \\ v_{2} \end{matrix}] \frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}} (a v_{1} + b v_{2}) = c v_{1} + d v_{2} \begin{matrix} \end{matrix}$

From here we can see that given any combination of 3 values $(a, b, c, o r d)$ , or, we could solve for the fourth unknown.

Thus, $d i m V = 3$ .
