100%
Consider the following 2 x 2 matrix
A =
For any matrix, we have a clear understanding of some exponents: A" refers to multiplying a matrix to
itself n times and A-l refers to the inverse matrix. Combining this idea gives A-n = (A-!)", the nth
power of the inverse.
A natural question to ask is, can we take the nth root of a matrix? We're going to try to find A/3, i.e. a
matrix that when we cube it gives A.
(a) Calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A.
(b) Find a matrix P and a diagonal matrix D such that A = PDP-1.
(c) Find a matrix E such that E = D. Explain why this result is simple compared to finding the cube
root of A.
(d) Using part (c), find a matrix B such that B3 = A.
