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
Consider an upper triangular matrix Awithforandfor. Find the algebraic multiplicity of the eigenvalueof. Without using Theorem 7.3.6, what can you say about the geometric multiplicity?
If 0 is an eigenvalue of a matrix A, then det A = 0.
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.
