Find the Eigen values and eigenvectors of the following matrices. Do some problems by hand to be sure you understand what the process means. Then check your results by computer.
A particle is traveling along the line (x-3)/2=(y+1)/(-2)=z-1. Write the equation of its path in the form . Find the distance of closest approach of the particle to the origin (that is, the distance from the origin to the line). If t represents time, show that the time of closest approach is . Use this value to check your answer for the distance of closest approach. Hint: See Figure 5.3. If P is the point of closest approach, what is ?
Note in Section 6 [see (6.15)] that, for the given matrix A, we found , so it was easy to find all the powers of A. It is not usually this easy to find high powers of a matrix directly. Try it for the square matrix Min equation (11.1). Then use the method outlined in Problem 57 to find.
Question: For each of the following problems write and row reduce the augmented matrix to find out whether the given set of equations has exactly one solution, no solutions, or an infinite set of solutions. Check your results by computer. Warning hint:Be sure your equations are written in standard form. Comment: Remember that the point of doing these problems is not just to get an answer (which your computer will give you), but to become familiar with the terminology, ideas, and notation we are using
