One or more options correct
Let and let be the identity matrix of order 3. Which of the following statements is/are correct?
- A. The entry of is
- B. is diagonalizable over
- C. The entry of is
- D. The sum of all nine entries of equals
Show answer and solution
Answer: A, C
Write with , so has the single nonzero entry at position and . Then , whose entry is ; for this is , so (A) is true. has the single eigenvalue but (equivalently ), so it is not diagonalizable and (B) is false. , whose entry is , so (C) is true. The entries of add to , not , so (D) is false. Answer: A and C.
