    Linear Algebra - Similar Matrices(finding invertible Q for A~B given A and B)

    Perfect, got it, polishing off verifying the full solution now - looks promising. Dick you're the cheese to my macaroni - don't go changing :D

    Linear Algebra - Similar Matrices(finding invertible Q for A~B given A and B)

    Thereom was problem the wrong word, but this logic: Since Bv=3v Therefore (3I-B)v=0? Say I subtract Bv from both sides 3v-Bv=0 (3-B)v=0 so why does (3-B)v=(3I-B)v

    Are you sure? I checked it again. I'll show my a more exact version of my checks so it can be verified. But (3I-B) = (1 -1 -1) (-1 1 -1) (0 0 2) --> R2-->R2+R1 (1 -1 -1) ( 0 0 -2) ( 0 0 0) --> R2-->-1/2R2 (1 -1 -1) (0 0 1) (0 0 0) --> R1-->R1+R2 (1 -1 0) (0 0 1) (0 0 0)...

    Linear Algebra - Similar Matrices(finding invertible Q for A~B given A and B)

    Alright - I'm coming into some difficulties. I understand the logic to find the solution. However, when I try diagnolizing B to get D, by using the eigenvalues I produce the same D(D=diag(1,1,3)). HOWEVER, I tried verifying this by finding the three linearly independent eigenvectors to form Q...

    Homework Statement I am having problems with (i) Also I find my teacher to be very methodical, and lacking in theory. So if you find my reasoning poor or incomplete in any regard PLEASE enlighten me by clarifying. Thanks :D 12. (15 marks) Let A = (−1 −8 −2) ( 1 5 1) ( 0 0 1)...
