Show that the 2x2 matrix S = [0 1, -1 0] is real, normal, and has eigenvalues +-i. Show that the eigenvalues of N^TN are both one. (where T is transpose).
k is an eigenvalue of S iff det(S-kI) = 0, and det(AB) = det(A)det(B).
Please use these facts to show that k^2 is an eigenvalue of S^2 iff either k or -k is an eigenvalue of S. Then use this result to show that p(S)^2 = p(S^2).
k is an eigenvalue of S iff det(S-kI) = 0, and det(AB) = det(A)det(B).
Use these facts to show that k^2 is an eigenvalue of S^2 iff either k or -k is an eigenvalue of S. Then use this result to show that p(S)^2 = p(S^2).
