Let A = [0 -6 -7; 1 7 7; 0 0 1] and consider T : R^3 -> R^3 given by T(x) = Ax. (a) Find the characteristic polynomial of A, i.e. p_A(Λ) = det(Λ I_3 - A). Determine the eigenvalues of A and AM(Λ) for each eigenvalue. (b) Find a basis for each eigenspace, i.e. E_A(Λ) = Null(Λ I_3 - A) corresponding to the eigenvalues you found in part (a) and determine GM(Λ) for each eigenvalue. (c) Use test for diagonalization to show that A is diagonalizable. (d) Show that the eigenvectors of A form a basis B of R^3 and obtain the representation of T with respect to B, i.e. [T]_B. (e) Determine a matrix P such that P^-1 AP is a diagonal matrix. Clearly verify it.
