Answer:

Nx = λx

Nx = 0, with x≠0

if N is nilpotent matrix, then the system Nx = 0 has non-trivial solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

let N be a square matrix in order of n

note: N is nilpotent matrix with N^{k} = 0, k ∈ N

let λ be eigenvalue of N and let x be eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue λ

Nx = λx (x≠0)

N²x =  λNx = λ²x

∴N^{k}x =  (λ^k)x

N^{k} = 0, (λ^k)x = 0_{n}, where n is dimensional vector

where x = 0, (λ^k) = 0

λ = 0

therefore, Nx = λx

Nx = 0, with x≠0

note: if N is nilpotent matrix, then the system Nx = 0 has non-trivial solution

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.<br>​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Ok i hope this helps and if it does pls give me brainliest!

So the longest line is 8 and makes a 90 degree angle with another smaller line which is labled 3.6. X is longer than 3.6 ( only by a little bit) But it looks like its half of the longest line (8). So i think the answer would be X equals 4. But i was thinking about it more i relized that you would prob just divide 8 by 3.6 which would be 2.22222 .... And that rounded tot he nearest 10th would be 2.2.
