31 If we exchange rows 1 and 2 and columns 1 and 2, the eigenvalues don’t change.
Find eigenvectors of A and B for D 11. Rank one gives 2 D 3 D 0.

(a) Give a basis for the nullspace and a basis for the column space.
(b) Find a particular solution to Ax D v C w. Find all solutions.
(c) Ax D u has no solution. If it did then would be in the column space.

Challenge Problems
35 There are six 3 by 3 permutation matrices P . What numbers can be the determinants
of P ? What numbers can be pivots? What numbers can be the trace of P ? What
four numbers can be eigenvalues of P , as in Problem 15?
36 Is there a real 2 by 2 matrix (other than I ) with A3 D I ? Its eigenvalues must satisfy
3
D 1. They can be e 2 i=3 and e 2 i=3 . What trace and determinant would this
give? Construct a rotation matrix as A (which angle of rotation?).

AD :
:6 c
(b) Show that A has just one line of eigenvectors when c D 1:6.
(c) This is a Markov matrix when c D :8. Then An will approach what matrix A 1 ?
