Summary: How to find determinant (algorithm)
Use Gaussian elimination
product of the pivots
, the number of row exchange
Example
and lie in the same direction with and
are called eigenvectors and are the corresponding eigenvalues
Define(eigenvector and eigenvalue): Let be a matrix. A non-zero vector is called an eigenvector of if there exists a scalar such that . This is called the eigenvalue corresponding to the eigenvector
Theorem
A scalar is an eigenvalue if and only if
Example
(Finding )
, Let
(Finding eigenvectors)
Solve to obtain eigenvectors
Define(trace): Let be a square matrix, or
Theorem
Let be a square matrix and be its eigenvalues, then
Example (Projection matrix)
Note that is a projection matrix onto a subspace spanned by
Example (Rotation matrix)
rotates a vector by
check
(orthogonal)
(Find )
There doesn't exist any real number and vector s.t.
since NO vector stay in the same direction after rotation by degrees other than
