Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedMathematicsMatrices
Paragraph: Let A be a n n matrix. Suppose the linear transformation Y=A X transforms X into a scalar multiple of itself i.e. A X=Y= X i.e. X is an invariant vector. Then the unknown scalar is known as an eigen value of matrix A and corresponding non zero vector X as eigen vector. Thus eigen values satisfy the equation A X= X Question: A= [ array cc 8 & -4 2 & 2 array ] then possible eigen values is/are
Options
- A4
- B-4
- C-6
- Dnone of these
Correct answer
A. 4
Step-by-step solution
Eigen values are roots of the equation A- X=0 (A- I) X=0 aligned & |A- | =0 & | array cc 8- & -4 2 & 2- array |=0 & ( -4)( -6)=0 & =4,6 aligned
