1. Let A be an n n invertible matrix. Show that eigenvalues of A1 are reciprocal of


the eigenvalues of A and A and A1 have the same eigenvectors.
2. Let A be an n n matrix and be a scalar. Find the eigenvalues of A I in terms
of eigenvalues of A. Further show that A and A I have the same eigenvectors.
3. Let A be an n n matrix. Show that At and A have the same eigenvalues. Do they
have the same eigenvectors?
4. Let A be an n n matrix. Show that: (a) If A is idempotent (A2 = A) then
eigenvalues of A are either 0 or 1. (b) If A is nilpotent (Am = 0 for some m 1)
then all eigenvalues of A are 0.
