Short Answer

For the matrix A=[8-2-25], write A=B2 as discussed in Exercise 30. See Example 1.

A=B2 where,B=1514-2-211

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given Information:

A=8-2-25

Step 2: Estimating S:

Consider the matrix below:

A=8-2-25

Now, as shown below, calculate the eigen values:

detA-λl=0

8-λ-2-25-λ=0

λ2-13λ+36=0λ-4·λ-9=0

As a result, the eigenvalues are 9 and 4, yielding

D=9004

So,

D1=3002

The eigen vectors are as follows:

-21 and 12

Find S by combining the eigen vectors after they have been converted to unit vectors, as shown below.

15-21 and 1512

As a result, we get S, as shown below:

S=15-2112

Step 3: Estimating B:

Now, as shown below, evaluate B:

B=SD1S

=15-2112300215-2112

=15-21123002-2112

=15-2112-6324

B=1514-2-211

As a result, we can write A as:

A=B2

Step 4: Determining the Result:

A=B2 where,B=1514-2-211
