Exercise 9

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider the matrix A=[1101]A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \\ \end{array}\right].

  1. Find the eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors of AA.

  2. Make a prediction about what happens if we apply the power method and the inverse power method to find eigenvalues of AA.

  3. Verify your prediction using Sage.
