Q15E
Expert-verifiedFor a given eigenvalue, find a basis of the associated eigenspace. Use the geometric multiplicities of the eigenvalues to determine whether a matrix is diagonalizable. For each of the matrices A in Exercises 1 through 20, find all (real) eigenvalues. Then find a basis of each eigenspace, and diagonalize A, if you can. Do not use technology
The given matrix A is not diagonalizable.
Algebraic versus geometric multiplicity If λ is an eigenvalues of a square matrix A,
then
For
The basic of the eigenspace is
For , we get
The basic of this eigenspace is
Therefore, the . So A is not diagonalizable.
