(1) Suppose that is a real symmetric matrix. Let and be an eigenvector and the corresponding eigenvalue of , respectively. Prove that is a real number.
(2) Suppose that is a real symmetric matrix. Let and be eigenvectors of ; and and be the eigenvalues of that correspond to and , respectively. Furthermore, assume that .
Prove that . Here denotes the inner product of the two vectors and .
(3) Let be a matrix
where , , and ( ) are real numbers such that the two vectors and are linearly independent.
Let us define a function by
Prove that the equation determines a plane in the space.
(4) In the setting of Question (3), give three points that lie on the plane determined by .
Give 3 points that lie on plane .
When is determinant ?
For example, when some columns are dependent.
Let's make some columns dependent.
Zum Beispiel, let's take:
Now first and second column are dependent, so .
To get two others solutions, take and or simply multiply the first solution by some constants.
