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

Mathematics

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.

What is the volume of the square pyramid shown below?
NemiM [27]

Answer: C) 147cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the area of the square base.

This is 7*7 which equals 49 cm squared.

Plug this value into the formula of a square pyramid which will be V = 49 * \frac{h}{3}, now plug in the h, which is 9 cm.

V = 49 * \frac{9}{3}

Now solve.

V = 147 cubic cm.
