MHB Give a basis to get the specific matrix M

  • #31
For the last map :

Let $b_2=\begin{pmatrix}0 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}$, then $\gamma_{\mathcal{B}_1}(\phi_3(b_2))=\gamma_{\mathcal{B}_1}\begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 0\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 0\end{pmatrix}$.
So we get \begin{equation*}\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{B}_1}(\phi_3)=\begin{pmatrix}1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}\end{equation*} which is an upper triangular matrix.There is no basis such that $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{B}_1}(\phi_3)$ is a diagonal matrix, because the element at the second column and first row has to be non zero to get linearly independent vectors, right?

1. Give (if possible) for each $i\in \{1,2,3\}$ a Basis $B_i$ of $\mathbb{R}^2$ such that $M_{B_i}(\phi_i)$ an upper triangular matrix.

I've taken the liberty to change $\mathcal{B}_1$ into $\mathcal{B}_3$ in the above quote.
That was what was intended wasn't it? :unsure:

The eigenvalue was $0$ wasn't it?
Shouldn't we have $u_{11}=0$ then?
I don't think we have the correct $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{B}_3}(\phi_3)$. (Shake)

Correct. (Nod)

Ahh yes, we have \begin{equation*}\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{B}_3}(\phi_3)=\begin{pmatrix}0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}\end{equation*} :unsure:
