Eigenvalues Assignment Solution

The document outlines the process of finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the matrix B = [[5, -6, -6], [-1, 4, 2], [3, -6, -4]]. It identifies the eigenvalues as 1 and 2 (with 2 having a multiplicity of 2) and the corresponding eigenvectors as [1, 1, 0], [2, 1, 1], and [0, 1, -1]. The matrix B is confirmed to be diagonalizable with the diagonal matrix D = diag(1, 2, 2).

Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors and Diagonalization

Given Matrix:

B = [ [5, -6, -6], [-1, 4, 2], [3, -6, -4] ]

Step 1: Finding Eigenvalues

We solve det(B - lambda*I) = 0.

Characteristic Polynomial: lambda^3 - 5*lambda^2 + 8*lambda - 4 = 0

Roots: lambda = 1 (simple), lambda = 2 (multiplicity 2)

Eigenvalues: lambda1 = 1, lambda2 = 2 (twice)

Step 2: Finding Eigenvectors

For lambda = 1: Solve (B - I)v = 0

Eigenvector: v1 = [1, 1, 0]

For lambda = 2: Solve (B - 2I)v = 0

Eigenvectors:

v2 = [2, 1, 1]

v3 = [0, 1, -1]

Step 3: Diagonalization

Matrix P (eigenvectors as columns):

P = [ [1, 2, 0], [1, 1, 1], [0, 1, -1] ]

Since we found 3 linearly independent eigenvectors, B is diagonalizable.

Diagonal matrix D = diag(1, 2, 2)


Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors and Diagonalization

So, P^(-1) B P = D

Conclusion

Eigenvalues: 1, 2 (multiplicity 2)

Eigenvectors: [1,1,0], [2,1,1], [0,1,-1]

Matrix B is diagonalizable with P^(-1) B P = diag(1, 2, 2)
