Short Answer

Find an eigenbasis for the given matrice and diagonalize:

A=[1111]

The eigenbasis for the given matrice is 0002.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Solving the given matrices

We solve:

detA-λl=01-λ111-λ=0 1-λ2-1=0 λ2-2λ=0 λλ-2 =0 λ1=0, λ2=2

Step 2: Solving by different values of λ

For λ=0, we solve:

1111x1y1=00 x1+y1=0

We can choose an eigenvector:

v1=1-1

For λ=2, we solve:

-111-1x1y1=00 x1-y1=0

We can choose an eigenvector:

v2=1-1

Now, localid="1659533233518" v1,v2 is an eigenbasis for R2, therefore the diagonalization of A in the eigenbasis is 0002.

Hence the final answer is 0002.
