1. Let A be an n × n matrix. Show that:


(a) If λ is eigenvalue of A, show that λn is eigenvalue of An .
(b) If A is idempotent (A2 = A) then eigenvalues of A are either 0 or 1.
(c) If A is nilpotent (Am = 0 for some m ≥ 1) then all eigenvalues of A are 0.
(d) If A⊺ = A then, the eigenvalues are all real.
(e) If A⊺ = −A then, the eigenvalues are either zero or purely imaginary.
2. Let A be an n × n invertible matrix. Show that eigenvalues of A−1 are reciprocal of the eigenvalues of A, also show that
A and A−1 have the same eigenvectors.

3. Let A be an n × n matrix and α be a scalar. Find the eigenvalues of A − αI in terms of eigenvalues of A. Further show
that A and A − αI have the same eigenvectors.
4. Let A be an n × n matrix. Show that A⊺ and A have the same eigenvalues. Do they have the same eigenvectors?

6. The 3 × 3 matrix A has (1, 2, 1) and (1, 1, 0) as eigenvectors, both with eigenvalue 7, and its trace is 2. Find the
determinant of A.

7. Suppose it is known that the matrix A =  2 a 12  has eigenvalues 2 and 3 and that the eigenvalue 2 has algebraic

8. If for any arbitrary 2 × 2 matrix A, the |A| = 13, and tr(A) = 15. Then find the value of tr(A2 ).
9. Find two different 2 × 2 matrices A, and B, both have the same eigenvalues λ1 = λ2 = 2, and both have the same (only
one) eigenvector (1, 0).

10. Let A denote a 2021 × 2021 real matrix with all entries equal to 1, and let I denote identity matrix of order 2021. Find
the determinant of the matrix A − I.
11. Find three different 2 × 2 matrices A, B and C, such that they have the same eigenvalues λ1 = λ2 = 3, and the same
(only one) eigenvector [3, 0]⊤ .
