(1) Determine whether the given matrices are diagonalizable or not. If so, then find its diagonalization (it means to find the diagonal matrix D that it is similar to, as well as the change of basis matrix P). (a) A = egin{pmatrix} 2 & -1 \ -1 & 2 end{pmatrix} (b) A = egin{pmatrix} -3 & 2 \ -2 & 1 end{pmatrix} (c) A = egin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & -4 \ 8 & -7 & -16 \ -3 & 3 & 7 end{pmatrix} (d) A = egin{pmatrix} 3 & -1 & -1 \ -12 & 0 & 5 \ 4 & -2 & -1 end{pmatrix}

Step 1
The characteristic equation is: $(2 - \lambda)(2 - \lambda) - (3)(0) = (\lambda - 2)^2 = 0$ There is only one eigenvalue: $\lambda_1 = 2$ Now, let's find the eigenvectors for $\lambda_1 = 2$: $(A - 2I)v = 0$ $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} Show more…
