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.
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.
Verify (6.14) by multiplying the matrices and using trigonometric addition formulas.
Show that an orthogonal matrix M with all real eigenvalues is symmetric. Hints: Method 1. When the eigenvalues are real, so are the eigenvectors, and the unitary matrix which diagonalizes M is orthogonal. Use (11.27). Method 2. From Problem 46, note that the only real eigenvalues of an orthogonal M are ±1. Thus show that . Remember that M is orthogonal to show that .
Let . (a) Find a unit vector in the same direction as A . Hint: Divide A by . (b) Find a vector in the same direction as A but of magnitude 12 . (c) Find a vector perpendicular to A . Hint: There are many such vectors; you are to find one of them. (d) Find a unit vector perpendicular to A . See hint in (a).
