Exercise 24
V is a real or complex space. Show that
1. If the linear map A: V > V satisfies A^2 = A and if X is an eigenvalue of A, then X = 0 or X = 1. Give a non-trivial example.
2. If the linear map A: V > V satisfies A^2 = Z and if X is an eigenvalue of A, then X = 1 or X = -1. Give a non-trivial example.
3. If the linear map A: V > V has an inverse and X is an eigenvalue of A then:
(a) 0 (b) 1/X is an eigenvalue of A^-1 (c) E^1/A-1 = EA
