[SOLVED] Positive Definite Matrices
a) If A is Symmetric show that A-λI is positive definite if and only if all eigenvalues of A are >λ, and A-λI is negative definite if and only if all eigenvalues of A are <λ.
b) Use this result to show that all the eigenvalues of
[ 5 2 -1 0]
[ 2 5 0 1]
[-1 0 5 -2]
[ 0 1 -2 5]
are between zero and eight.
