6. (a) Let T: V → V be a self-adjoint linear operator on a finite-dimensional real inner product space V. Show that all eigenvalues of T are nonnegative if and only if T has a self-adjoint square root, that is, there exists a self-adjoint operator S: V→ V such that S² = T. (Hint: spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators.)

6. (a) Let T: V→ V be a self-adjoint linear operator on a finite-dimensional real
inner product space V. Show that all eigenvalues of T are nonnegative if
and only if T has a self-adjoint square root, that is, there exists a self-adjoint
operator S: V→ V such that S2 = T. (Hint: spectral theorem for self-adjoint
operators.)
(b) Let A be a real symmetric matrix. Show that all eigenvalues of A are nonneg-
ative if and only if A has a real symmetric square root, that is, there exists a
real symmetric matrix B such that B2 = A.
(c) Find a real symmetric square root of the matrix in Textbook Sec. 6.5 Exer-
cises 2(e).
