Let A = CD where C, D are n xn matrices, and is invertible. Prove that DC is similar to A. Hint: Use Theorem 6.13, and understand that you can choose P and P-inverse. Prove that if A is diagonalizable with n real eigenvalues 11, 12,..., An, then det(A) = 11. Ay n Prove that if A is an orthogonal matrix, then so are A and A'.
linear algebra question 2. (5' each) Give short answers: (a) True or false: If Ai-Adi for some real number λ, then u is an eigenvector of matrix A. If a square matrix is diagonalizable, then it has n distinct real eigenvalues. Two vectors of the same dimension are linearly independent if and only if one is not a multiple of the other. If the span of a set of vectors is R", then that set is a basis of R...
Suppose A and B are matrices with matrix product AB. If bi, b2, ..., br are the columns of B, then Ab, Ab2, ..., Ab, are the columns of AB 1. Suppose A is an nxnmatrix such that A -SDS where D diag(di,d2,... dn) is a diagonal matrix, and S is an invertible matrix. Prove that the columns of S are eigenvectors of A with corresponding eigenvalues being the diagonal entries of D Before proving this, work through the following...
