1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 thts the matrix to diagonalize.... :(...plzzzz i need help or m dead

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\left(\begin{array} \\1&0&0\\0&1&1\\0&1&1\end{array}\right)\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

are you sure it Can be diagonalized?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dnt know...m so confused...my eigen roots are 1 , 2 , 0...i cnt solve it for eigen vectors to find P matrix :'(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its rank is 2,i don't think its possible to diagonalise it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As long as the eigenvalues are distinct, it is possible to diagonalize. If you are getting eigenvalues of 1, 2 and 0, its good. Now you need to find a basis for the Null Space (or Kernel) of the matrix:\[A-\lambda I\] by plugging each eigenvalue into lambda and row reducing.

thaaannxxx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Heres how to find the eigenvector when lambda is 2, the others are worked out similarly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when we try to find the eigenvectors we can't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The poster has the correct eigenvalues.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I forgot that 1 hehehe yeah you are right.

How did you type it up so fast?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I use a program called Lyx. for me a little faster than typing things on here. Ive been using it for a little over a year though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it use latex ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is it just hotkeys?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it uses latex, so if you know latex youre pretty much good to go. The hotkeys are there though if you dont know some stuff.
