Problem #5: Consider the following five statements about similar matrices. (1) If A and B are similar matrices, then det(4) = det(B). (11) If A and B are similar matrices and A is symmetric, then B is symmetric. (111) If A and B are similar matrices, then A and B have the same eigenvalues. (iv) If A and B are similar matrices, then at least one of A and B is a triangular matrix. (v) If A and B are similar matrices, then A² and B² are similar. Determine which which statements are true (1) or false (2) by testing out each statement on an appropriate matrix. So, for example, if you think that the answers, in the above order, are True False False,True False, then you would enter '1,2,2,1,2' into the answer box below (without the quotes).

(ii) If A and B are similar matrices and A is symmetric, then B is symmetric.
(111) If A and B are similar matrices, then A and B have the same eigenvalues.
(iv) If A and B are similar matrices, then at least one of A and B is a triangular matrix.
(v) If A and B are similar matrices, then A² and B² are similar.
Determine which which statements are true (1) or false (2) by testing out each statement on an appropriate
matrix.
So, for example, if you think that the answers, in the above order, are True False,False, True False, then you
would enter '1,2,2,1,2' into the answer box below (without the quotes).
