Exercise 1

Question 1)

We need to show that v1 is an eigenvector for f, but v2 is not.

It can be seen graphically that which is equal to


Therefore one can conclude that v1 is an eigenvector for with an eigenvalue of 3.

It can be seen graphically that which is linearly not equal to v1 or v2. Therefore v2 is not
an eigenvector for .

Question 2)
We need to find the images and as a linear combination of v1 and v2.

As previously seen, . The system of equation can be written in an


augmented form matrix as such:

(1.1)

(1.2)

Therefore can be written as

As previously seen, . The system of equation can be written in an


augmented form matrix as such:

(1.3)
(1.4)

Therefore can be written as

Finally, by identification, a = 3, b = 0, c = 1 and d = 2.

The mapping matrix can then be written as:

(1.5)

Now to compute the coordinate vector


Since is a linear map, the following can be performed:

Question 3)
a)
The area of a parallelogram spanned by two vectors is the determinant of the matrix formed by those
vectors:

(1.6)

(1.7)
So the area of that parallelogram is 10.

b)
Using the same method as in part (a) we obtain the following:

(1.8)

Question 4)
The matrix can be found by computing

Let's then find the matrix It is simply


(1.9)

(1.10)

Question 5)
We need to determine a new basis G2 with respect to which the mapping matrix for becomes a
diagonal matrix.

In other words, we need to find the eigenvectors of the matrix to find the new base and the
eigenvalues to find the diagonal matrix.

(1.11)

It is found that:

So the new base for G2 is and the diagonal matrix is

Question 6)
In the case where we now have where and , the matrix
changes to the following:
(1.12)

(1.13)

We can notice here that the eigenvalues are 7 and . We know from theory that the map is
diagonalizable if and only if all eigenvalues have the same geometric multiplicity as
algebraic multiplicity.

(1.14)

(1.15)

For this map, if the value of we now have Therefore is not


diagonalizable for the specific value of k=7. It is for all other.
