MA 101: Linear Algebra and Matrices

Tutorial 5

1. Find all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of following matrix

 
1 1 1 1
 1 1 1 1 
 
 1 1 1 1 
1 1 1 1

2. If λ & x are eigenvalue and eigenvector of A then find one eigenvalue and corresponding
eigenvector of A − 10I.

3. Let A be a 2 × 2 matrix with eigenvalue 3 and A−1 with eigenvalue 4. Is A diagonal-

izable?

4. Choose a, b, c so that eigenvalues of A are −3, 0, 3, where

 
0 1 0
A= 0 0 1 
a b c

5. Suppose the only eigenvectors of A are multiples of x = [1 0 0]T . Answer true or false
to following statements:
(a) A is not invertible.
(b) A has a repeated eigenvalue.
(c) A is not diagonalizable.

6. Diagonalize following matrix, if possible:

 
2 0
2 −2

7. Find A, if A has eigenvalues 1 and 4 and eigenvectors [3 1]T and [2 1]T respectively.

8. Verify that the sum of eigenvalues equals trace of a matrix and the product of eigen-
values equals determinant of the matrix for following matrix
 
3 4 2
 0 1 2 
3 5 4

9. Show that determinant equals the product of eigenvalues of a matrix.

10. Under which elementary row operations eigenvalues do not change? If changes then
can you specify the change?
