Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 1

Find the sum of the Eigenvalues of the matrix

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 1

According to the property of the Eigenvalues, the sum of the Eigenvalues of a matrix is its trace that is the sum of the elements of the principal diagonal. 
Therefore, the sum of the Eigenvalues = 3 + 4 + 1 = 8.

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 2

Find the Eigenvalues of matrix

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 2

A - λI = 0

Now, After taking the determinant:

(4 - λ)2 - 1 = 0

16 + λ2 - 8λ - 1 = 0

λ2 - 8λ + 15 = 0

 - 3) (λ - 5) = 0

λ = 3, 5

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 7

We know If λ be the eigen value of A ⇒λ2 is an eigen value of A2 .

For S matrix, if eigen values are λ1, λ2, λ3,... then for S² matrix, the eigen values will be λ²1 λ²2 λ²3......
For S matrix, if eigen values are 1 and 5 then for S² matrix, the eigen values are 1 and 25

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 8

The number of linearly independent eigenvectors of 

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 8

Number of linear independent vectors is equal to the sum of Geometric Multiplicity of eigen values. Here only eigen value is 2.

To find Geometric multiplicity find n-r of (matrix-2I), where n is order and r is rank.

Rank of obtained matrix is 1 and n = 2 so n-r = 1. Therefore the no of linearly independent eigen vectors is 1

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 9

The eigenvectors of the matrix     are written in the form  . What is a + b? 

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 9

 

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 10

One of the Eigenvectors of the matrix A =  is

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 10

The eigen vectors of A are given by  AX= λ X  

So we can check by multiplication.

  

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 11

The minimum and the maximum eigen values of the matrix    are –2 and 6, respectively. What  is the other eigen value?  

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 11

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 12

 

The largest eigenvalue of the matrix 
 is 

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 12

Concept:

If A is any square matrix of order n, we can form the matrix [A – λI], where I is the nth order unit matrix.

The determinant of this matrix equated to zero

i.e. |A – λI| = 0 is called the characteristic equation of A.

The roots of the characteristic equation are called Eigenvalues or latent roots or characteristic roots of matrix A.

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 16

Let A be an n × n complex matrix. Assume that A is self-adjoint and let B denotes the inverse of (A + iIn). Then all eigenvalues of (A - iIn)B are 

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 16

Concept: 

(i) A complex matrix A is said to be self-adjoint if A = A* where A* = A-T

(ii) Eigenvalues of a self-adjoint matrix are real

Explanation:

A is an n × n complex matrix and A is self-adjoint so

A = A*

B denotes the inverse of (A + iIn).

So B = (A + iIn)-1

Let λ be an eigenvalue of A

then λ + i is an eigenvalue of A + iIn

and (λ + i)-1 is an eigenvalue of B

Also λ - i is an eigenvalue of A - iIn

Hence eigenvalue of (A - iIn)B

= (λ - i)(λ + i)-1 

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 17

If the rank of a (5×6) matrix Q is 4, then which one of the following statements is correct?  

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 17

Rank of a matrix is equal to the No. of linearly independent row or no. of linearly  independent column vector. 

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 18

The trace and determinate of a 2 ×2 matrix are known to be – 2 and – 35 respectively. Its eigenvalues are 

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 18

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 19

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 19

Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 20

In matrix equation [A]{X} = {R}, one of the eigenvalues of matrix A is

Detailed Solution for Test: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors - 1 - Question 20

Vector R may be written as

R = 32i + 16j + 64k = 16 (2i + j + 4k) = 16X

So vector X after transformation remains on its span and only its magnitude is enlarged by 16. Hence, one of eigenvalue of matrix A is 16.

Hence option D is the correct option.
