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:
[itex]u_1=(1,0,0,1,1)[/itex]
[itex]u_2=(1,1,0,0,1)[/itex]
[itex]u_3=(-1,0,1,0,0)[/itex]
also:
[itex]\rho (2I-A)>\rho (3I-A)[/itex]
and: [itex]A(1,2,2,1,3)^t=(0,4,6,2,6)^t[/itex]
prove that A is diagonalizable and find a diagonal matrix similar to it.
What I can make of this is:
[itex](1,2,2,1,3)^t=u_1 + 2u_2 + 2u_3[/itex]
(then maybe I can say that P has the eigenvectors as columns and
[itex]AP(1,2,2,0,0)^t=(0,4,6,2,6)^t[/itex]
but then what?)
and because
[itex]\rho (2I-A)>\rho (3I-A)[/itex]
[itex]\rho (2I-A)\leq 5[/itex]
it means that
[itex]5>\rho (3I-A)[/itex]
and so
[itex]det(3I-A)=0[/itex]
and 3 is an eigenvalue of A.
I would like some hints/suggestions on what to do.
Thanks!
