This question has a lot data but I don't really know how to connect it all together
Let A be a 5x5 matrix over R
3 eigenvectors of A are:
u_1=(1,0,0,1,1)
u_2=(1,1,0,0,1)
u_3=(-1,0,1,0,0)
also:
\rho (2I-A)>\rho (3I-A)
and: A(1,2,2,1,3)^t=(0,4,6,2,6)^t
prove that A is diagonalizable and find a diagonal matrix similar to it.
What I can make of this is:
(1,2,2,1,3)^t=u_1 + 2u_2 + 2u_3
(then maybe I can say that P has the eigenvectors as columns and
AP(1,2,2,0,0)^t=(0,4,6,2,6)^t
but then what?)
and because
\rho (2I-A)>\rho (3I-A)
\rho (2I-A)\leq 5
it means that
5>\rho (3I-A)
and so
det(3I-A)=0
and 3 is an eigenvalue of A.
I would like some hints/suggestions on what to do.
Thanks!
