Explain why a 2x2 matrix can have at most two distinct eigenvalues

VladimirAG [237]3 years ago

Hey there. Hope I can help.

So lets say that a 2 * 2 matrix (A) has three distinct eigenvalues.

You need to remember that the eigen vectors state V_1,...,v_r which correspond to the distinct Eigen values λ_1,...,λ_n of an n * n matrix, then our set {V_1,...,v_r} is linearly independent. 

Which we can now tell by this theorem that three linearly independent eigenvectors correspond which is literally absurd.

The reason for this is because the matrix A is only two dimensional which means the three vectors belong to R^2. So any set {V_1,...,v_r} in R^n would be linearly independent if r > n since (r = 3) > (n = 2). These three eigenvectors then become linearly independent. Therefore the 2 * 2 matrix can only have 2 atmost.

Find the measure of an angle in a regular polygon with 22 sides​
KonstantinChe [14]
Find the sum of the interior angles of a 22-gon. Since the polygon has 22 sides, we can substitute this number for n: (n 2)180˚= (22 2)180˚= 20180˚= 3600˚. Each angle of a regular polygon measures 157.5˚.

What is the value of x?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

4x+7 = 5x-20                  

(reason: vertical angles are congruent; property used: distributive)

7 = 1x-20

1x = 7+20

1x = 27

x = 27

Which is greater? The square root of 121 or the cube root of 125. Explain your answer.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The square root of 121.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 121 is 11. 11x11=121 which makes the square root of 121, 11. The cube root of 125 is 5. Cube roots are numbers that are multiplied by each other to make a number, 125 is 5x5x5 so the cube root is 5. 11 is a greater number than 5 which makes the square root of 121 greater.

Find the perimeter of OQR if OQ=6.5.<br> A.<br> 6.1<br> B.<br> 12.2<br> C.<br> 13<br> D.<br> 19.1
Svetach [21]

ANSWER


The correct answer is 19.1


EXPLANATION


The perimeter of triangle OQR is the sum of the distance around the triangle.



Thus,


Perimeter=|OQ|+|OR|+|RQ|



We can observe that two of the angles are equal.



The angles that are equal measures 62° each.



Therefore triangle OQR is an isosceles triangle. This means that



|OQ|=6.5=|OR|



Hence,



Perimeter=6.5+6.5+6.1




Perimeter=19.1 units.
