iv. Make a conjecture about matrices and their characteristic polynomials based on the computations you just performed. Prove that it holds true in the case that the matrices are diagonalizable. (Note: it's likely your conjecture works in the case of nondiagonalizable matrices, too, but the proof, while similar, relies on the notion of a Jordan form.)
