Exercise 103

Avg difficulty 2.5

Let A=[200−1−190−15]A = \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & -1 & 9 \\ 0 & -1 & 5 \end{smallmatrix}\right].

  1. What are the eigenvalues?
  2. What is/are the defect(s) of the eigenvalue(s)?
  3. Find the general solution of x⃗ ′=Ax⃗\vec{x}\,' = A\vec{x}.
