(a) (4 points) Find the eigenvalues of A.
(b) (6 points) Find the eigenvectors associated with each eigenvalue of A.
(c) (5 points) Diagonalize A, and use it to compute lim Ak .
k→∞
(d) (1 points) Suppose A is an n × n matrix that is diagonalizable (so it has n linearly
independent eigenvectors). What must be true for lim Ak to exist? What is
k→∞
needed for Ak → 0? Justify your answer.
3. (3 points) Show that if A and B are similar, then det(A)=det(B).

4. (3 points) The algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue λ, i.e., the number of times λ is
repeated, is always greater than or equal to its geometric multiplicity, i.e., the number
of linearly independent eigenvectors associated with λ . Find h in the matrix A below,
such that λ = 4 has a geometric multiplicity of 2, where

explain why a given statement is either true or false.
(a) Two distinct eigenvectors corresponding to the same eigenvalue are always linearly
dependent.
(b) If λ is an eigenvalue of an n × n matrix A, then λ is also an eigenvalue of AT .
(c) An n×n matrix A is diagonalizable if the algebraic multiplicity of each eigenvalue
equals its geometric multiplicity.

6. (10 points) Consider the sequence xk+2 = 3xk+1 − 2xk for k ≥ 0. Starting with
an initial condition x0 = 0, x1 = 1, compute x63 by finding a general formula for xk in
terms of the initial conditions.
