Let


A=(544676121211)A = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 5 & 4 & -4 \\ 6 & 7 & -6 \\ 12 & 12 & -11 \end{array} \right)


a) Find the adjoint of A. Find the inverse of A from the adjoint of A. (4)

b) Find the characteristic and minimal polynomials of A. Hence find its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. (6)

c) Why is A diagonalisable? Find a matrix P such that P1AP is diagonal. (2)

d) Verify Cayley-Hamilton theorem for A. Hence, find the inverse of A

Solution

a) Find the adjoint of A.

First find the cofactor of each element.


A11=761211=5,A12=661211=6,A13=671212=12,A21=441211=4,A22=541211=7,A23=541212=12,A31=4476=4,A32=5466=6,A33=5467=11.\begin{array}{l} A_{11} = \left| \begin{array}{cc} 7 & -6 \\ 12 & -11 \end{array} \right| = -5, A_{12} = -\left| \begin{array}{cc} 6 & -6 \\ 12 & -11 \end{array} \right| = -6, A_{13} = \left| \begin{array}{cc} 6 & 7 \\ 12 & 12 \end{array} \right| = -12, A_{21} = \\ -\left| \begin{array}{cc} 4 & -4 \\ 12 & -11 \end{array} \right| = -4, A_{22} = \left| \begin{array}{cc} 5 & -4 \\ 12 & -11 \end{array} \right| = -7, A_{23} = -\left| \begin{array}{cc} 5 & 4 \\ 12 & 12 \end{array} \right| = -12, A_{31} = \left| \begin{array}{cc} 4 & -4 \\ 7 & -6 \end{array} \right| = \\ 4, A_{32} = -\left| \begin{array}{cc} 5 & -4 \\ 6 & -6 \end{array} \right| = 6, A_{33} = \left| \begin{array}{cc} 5 & 4 \\ 6 & 7 \end{array} \right| = 11. \end{array}


As a result the cofactor matrix of A is


(561247124611).\left( \begin{array}{ccc} -5 & -6 & -12 \\ -4 & -7 & -12 \\ 4 & 6 & 11 \end{array} \right).


Finally the adjoint of A is the transpose of the cofactor matrix:


(544676121211).\left( \begin{array}{ccc} -5 & -4 & 4 \\ -6 & -7 & 6 \\ -12 & -12 & 11 \end{array} \right).


Find the inverse of A from the adjoint of A.


detA=a11A11+a21A21+a31A31=1.\det A = a_{11}A_{11} + a_{21}A_{21} + a_{31}A_{31} = -1.A1=1detA(544676121211)=11(544676121211)=(544676121211).A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det A} \left( \begin{array}{ccc} -5 & -4 & 4 \\ -6 & -7 & 6 \\ -12 & -12 & 11 \end{array} \right) = \frac{1}{-1} \left( \begin{array}{ccc} -5 & -4 & 4 \\ -6 & -7 & 6 \\ -12 & -12 & 11 \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 5 & 4 & -4 \\ 6 & 7 & -6 \\ 12 & 12 & -11 \end{array} \right).


b) The characteristic equation for QQ is λ3D1λ2+D2λD3=0\lambda^3 - D_1\lambda^2 + D_2\lambda - D_3 = 0 .


D1=5+711=1;D_1 = 5 + 7 - 11 = 1;D2=A11+A22+A33=57+11=1.D_2 = A_{11} + A_{22} + A_{33} = -5 - 7 + 11 = -1.D3=A=1.D_3 = |A| = -1.


Hence


λ3λ2λ+1=0(λ1)2(λ+1)=0.\lambda^3 - \lambda^2 - \lambda + 1 = 0 \rightarrow (\lambda - 1)^2 (\lambda + 1) = 0.


The minimal polynomials of A are


(λ1),(λ1)(λ+1),(λ+1),(λ1)2.(\lambda - 1), (\lambda - 1)(\lambda + 1), (\lambda + 1), (\lambda - 1)^2.


The eigenvalues of A are λ1=1\lambda_1 = -1 and λ2=+1\lambda_2 = +1 .

Find eigenvector corresponding λ1=1\lambda_1 = -1

(5+14467+16121211+1)(xyz)=(000)v1=17(236).\left( \begin{array}{ccc} 5 + 1 & 4 & -4 \\ 6 & 7 + 1 & -6 \\ 12 & 12 & -11 + 1 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array} \right) \to v_1 = \frac{1}{7} \left( \begin{array}{c} 2 \\ 3 \\ 6 \end{array} \right).


Find eigenvectors corresponding λ2=1\lambda_2 = 1

(514467161212111)(xyz)=(000)x+yz=0v2=12(101),v3=12(011).\left( \begin{array}{ccc} 5 - 1 & 4 & -4 \\ 6 & 7 - 1 & -6 \\ 12 & 12 & -11 - 1 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array} \right) \to x + y - z = 0 \to v_2 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left( \begin{array}{c} 1 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{array} \right), v_3 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left( \begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{array} \right).


c) Because A have eigenvector basis.

Find a matrix PP such that P1APP^{-1}AP is diagonal.


P=(2712037012671212).P = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} \frac{2}{7} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & 0 \\ \frac{3}{7} & 0 & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \frac{6}{7} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{array} \right).P1AP=D=(100010001).P^{-1}AP = D = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} -1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right).


d) Verify Cayley-Hamilton theorem for A. Hence, find the inverse of A.

We have to show that


A3A2A+I=0.A^3 - A^2 - A + I = 0.A2=(544676121211)(544676121211)=(100010001).A^2 = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 5 & 4 & -4 \\ 6 & 7 & -6 \\ 12 & 12 & -11 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 5 & 4 & -4 \\ 6 & 7 & -6 \\ 12 & 12 & -11 \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right).A3=A2A=IA=A.A^3 = A^2 A = I A = A.


So


AIA+I=0.A - I - A + I = 0.


This verifies Cayley-Hamilton theorem.

The inverse of A:


A2=AA=1A1=A=(544676121211).A^2 = A A = 1 \to A^{-1} = A = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 5 & 4 & -4 \\ 6 & 7 & -6 \\ 12 & 12 & -11 \end{array} \right).
