2. Construct a 3x3 matrix A that has eigenvalues 1, 2, and 4 with the associated eigenvectors [1 1 2]T, [2 1 -2]T and [2 2 1]T, respectively.

[Hint: use P-1AP = K, where K is the diagonal matrix]


hlp me... pls guild me to the step reli no idea how to do it

P is the matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors you are given, and P-1 is the inverse of this matrix. K is a diagonal matrix whose entries are the eigenvalues. Can you put these ideas together and figure out what A needs to be?
 

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
