Linear Algebra: General Solution, Stability & Diagonal Transforms

[qybah]

Hi everyone I'm taking a linear algebra class at university right now and this is one of my homework questions . I am unsure how to even approach these questions. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I apologize in advance for not showing any attempt at this question because I am completely stuck. Thanks again for any help.

Hi qybah,

Although I won't be able to correspond often, but for (a), have you tried finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix?

Hello, qybah! :D

We discourage the "bumping" of threads, as given in our rules:

No bumping. Bumping a thread is posting a reply to that thread solely to raise its profile and return it to the top of the active threads list. This is forbidden at MHB. If you want to draw attention to an unanswered thread, then post something of value such as further progress. It is also forbidden to bump one thread by drawing attention to it in a different thread.

I hope you can see that we discourage this practice because such posts add no value to a thread. :)
