Solutions to MA242 Quiz 10, 11/28/06 1. Dene the linear transformation T : R2 R2 by T (x) = Ax, where A= 2 6 1 3 .

Find a basis B for R2 with the property that [T ]B is diagonal. Solution: Diagonalize A by nding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A: The characteristic polynomial is 2 5 = ( 5), so the eigenvalues of A are 5 and 0. For = 5, A 5I2 = 3 6 1 2 ,

and a basis for the eigenspace is thus v1 = (2, 1). Similarly, for = 0, a basis is given by a solution to Ax = 0; one can take, e.g., v2 = (3, 1). From v1 and v2 , we construct P = [v 1 v 2 ] = 2 3 1 1 .

By Theorem 8, the basis B = {v1 , v2 } has the property that the B -matrix of x Ax is diagonal. 2. Dene the matrix C by C= (a) Show that the eigenvalues of C are 3 3 3 3 .

3 3i, with corresponding eigenvectors (1, i).

(b) The transformation x C x is the composition of a rotation and a scaling. Give the angle of the rotation ( ), and give the scaling factor r. Solution: (a) Computing 3 3 Cx = 3 3 3+ 3i 3 + 3i

1 i

= ( 3 + 3i)

1 i

one sees that (1, i) is an eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue 3 + 3i. Therefore, the complex conjugate vector (1, i) must also be an eigenvector corresponding to 3 3i. (b) The angle of rotation of the transformation is = arctan the scaling factor is r = || = ( 3)2 + (3)2 = 2 3. 3 3 = ; 3
