Quiz-II
Marking Scheme

Program: B.Tech. 1st Semester (IT+ECE+IB)


Duration: 30 Minutes Full Marks: 15
Date: April 04, 2024 Time:: 01:15 PM - 01:45 PM
Important Instructions: Attempt all the questions. There is no
credit for a solution if the appropriate work is not shown, even if the
answer is correct. All the notations are standard and same as used
in the lecture notes.

1. Let A be a 5 × 5 diagonalizable matrix with eigen values 1 and


2. Suppose the algebraic multiplicity of 1 is 3 and the algebraic
multiplicity of 2 is 2. Find
(a) the characteristic polynomial of A; [1]
(b) the minimal polynomial of A; [1]
(c) the determinant of the adjoint of A. [3]
(d) the geometric multiplicities of 1 and 2. [2]
Solution.
(a) The characteristic polynomial of A is (x − 1)3 (x − 2)2 . [1]
(b) Since A is diagonalizable, the minimal polynomial of A is
(x − 1)(x − 2). [1]
(c) We know that if λ is an eigen value of A, then λ−1 det(A)
is an eigen value of the adjoint of A. Hence, eigen values of
the adjoint of A are 4 and 2. [1+1]
So, the determinant of the adjoint of A is 256. [1]
OR
Since det(A) = product of eigen values of A and det(Adj(A)) =
det(A)4 , det(Adj(A)) = 256.
(d) Since A is diagonalizable, the algebraic multiplicity and the
geometric multiplicity are same. Hence, GM (1) = 3 and
GM (2) = 2. [1+1]

2. Whether the matrix A = 0 0 1 is diagonalizable over C?
0 −1 0
If yes, then find an invertible matrix P and a diagonal matrix
D such that P −1 AP = D. [8]
Solution. The characteristic polynomial of A is det(xI3 − A) =
(x − 1)(x2 + 1). [1]
Hence, eigen values of A are 1, i, −i. [1]
Since A has distinct eigen values over C, A is diagonalizable.[1]
Eigen vectors corresponding to eigen value 1 is given by the
system of linear equations (A − I3 )X = 0.  Hence,
 we have
1
−x2 + x3 = 0 and x2 + x3 = 0. Therefore, X1 = 0 is an eigen
0
vector. [1]
Eigen vectors corresponding to eigen value i is given by the
system of linear equations (A − iI3 )X = 0. Hence, we have
(1 − i)x
 1= 0, −ix2 + x3 = 0 and x2 + ix3 = 0. Therefore,
0
X2 = 1 is an eigen vector. [1]
i
Eigen vectors corresponding to eigen value −i is given by the
system of linear equations (A + iI3 )X = 0. Hence, we have
(1 + i)x
1 =  0, ix2 + x3 = 0 and −x2 + ix3 = 0. Therefore,
0
X3 =  1  is an eigen vector. [1]

So, P = 0 1 1  and D = 0 i 0  [1+1]
