Short Answer

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.

[-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1]

Eigenvalues are:

λ1,2=0,almu0=2λ3=3,almu3=3

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Eigenvalues

  • In linear algebra, an eigenvector or characteristic vector of a linear transformation is a nonzero vector that changes at most by a scalar factor when that linear transformation is applied to it. The corresponding eigenvalue, often denoted by λ, is the factor by which the eigenvector is scaled.
  • Eigenvalues of a triangular matrix are its diagonal matrix.

Step 2: Finding all real eigenvalues, with their algebraic multiplicities: 

We can clearly see that,

detA-λ=0-1-λ-1-1-1-1-λ-1-1-1-1-λ=01-λ3-1-1-3-1-λ=0 λ2λ-3=0 λ1,2=0,λ3=3

Hence, the answer is:

λ1,2=0,almu0=2 λ3=3,almu0=3
