Problem #4: Suppose that a matrix A has characteristic polynomial p() = 24 - 32³ +62² 15. Consider the following statements. (1) λ = 2 is an eigenvalue of A. (ii) That same p() is also the characteristic polynomial of AT (iii) A is a 3 x 3 matrix. Determine which of the above statements are True (1) or False (2). So, for example, if you think that the answers, in the above order, are True,False,False, then you would enter '1,2,2' into the answer box below (without the quotes).

Problem #4: Suppose that a matrix A has characteristic polynomial p() = 24 - 32³ + 62² - 15. Consider the following
statements.
(1) λ = 2 is an eigenvalue of A.
(11) That same p(2) is also the characteristic polynomial of A¹.
(111) A is a 3 x 3 matrix.
Determine which of the above statements are True (1) or False (2).
So, for example, if you think that the answers, in the above order, are True False,False, then you would enter
'1.2.2' into the answer box below (without the quotes).

Expert Solution
Step 1: We will check 2 is an eigenvalue of the matrix A.

(i). Given characteristic polynomial is p(λ)=λ43λ3+6λ215.

If λ=2 is an eigenvalue of A then p(2)=0.

Now, p(2)=243(2)3+6(2)215p(2)=1624+2415p(2)=10

Hence, λ=2 is not an eigenvalue of A.

The first statement is false.
