Hi, for Q. 14 in Section 7.3, I calculated the determinant to be 0 = [-(lambda)][(1-lambda)^2].  Therefore, I got three eigenvalues of: lambda = 0, lambda = 1, lambda = 1.  Which led to an eigenbasis of: [0 1 0], [1 -5 0], [0 2 1]

Did you mean orthogonal? I believe the problem said that the vectors had to be orthogonal. In order for that to be true, you have to do the dot product between all four vectors and it must equal zero. To start it, I just created a new 4x1 vector with four different variables, and made did the dot product and set it equal to zero. From there, you can figure out the vectors you need to solve for.

Can anyone please help me in the question no. 25 of exercise 7.3? I am having a lot of trouble in comprehending how to calculate the multiplicity.

The geometric multiplicity of a matrix is directly related to the no. of independent eigenvectors in the eigen basis. Since, the no. of independent vectors is 3 (column wise), therefore, the geometric multiplicity is 3.

Can anyone please explain me how to go about solving Q. 14 Exercise 7.3 ? i guess i'm probably making a mistake somewhere in my calculations ...

Hey.Can anyone please explain me the 20th question of exercise 7.1. I am not able to understand how to interpret the question. Thanks

I believe that there would be no eigenvalue corresponding to the rotation in about e3 in R3 ! However, I would recommend asking the question to Prof. Kummini in this regard !

Hey I think the eigenvalue would be 1 since any vector on the axis spanned by e3 would be an eigen vector !


I'm having some trouble calculating Q. 14 of Section 7.1. If someone is able to start it out I would really appreciate it!
