Family 5

Eigenvalues: shortcut & full

These 2 topics share one solution. Spot the family, apply the method — same trick, different story.

How to spot this family

  • Eigenvectors, trace & determinant:"v and w are eigenvectors ... with the same eigenvalue"(3a) · "...whose eigenvalues sum to zero"(3b,先想清正的是哪个) · 给特征向量求 λ → tr 求第三个 → det
  • Eigenvalues, eigenspaces & diagonalisability:"find all eigenvalues ... a basis for each eigenspace" · "is A diagonalisable?" · 给 3×3 从零开始:特征多项式 → 特征空间 → 判可对角化
