Hi, I know that if two matrices A and B are similar matrices then they must have the same eigenvalues with the same geometric multiplicities. However, I was wondering if that statement was equivalent. In order terms, if two matrices have the same eigenvalues with the same geometric multiplicities, must they be similar? If not, is it always false?

Hi, I know that if two matrices A and B are similar matrices then they must have the same eigenvalues with the same geometric and algebraic multiplicities. However, I was wondering if that statement was equivalent. In order terms, if two matrices have the same eigenvalues with the same algebraic multiplicities, must they be similar? What about geometric multiplicities?

We say two n × n matrices A and B are similar if there is an invertible n × n matrix P such that A = PBP^ -1. a) Show that if A and B are similar n × n matrices, then they must have the same determinant. b) Show that if A and B are similar n × n matrices, then they must have the same eigenvalues. c) Give an example to show that A and B can be...

Let matrices A,B∈Mn×n(R). Show that if A and B are each similar to some diagonal matrix, and also have the same eigenvectors (but not necessarily the same eigenvalues), then  AB=BA.

Let A, B be n × n matrices. The following are two incorrect proofs that ABhas the same non-zero eigenvalues as BA. For each, state two things wrong with the proof: (i) We will prove that AB and BA have the same characteristic equation. We have that det(AB − λI) = det(ABAA−1 − λAA−1) = det(A(BA − λI)A−1) = det(A) + det(BA − λI) − det(A) = det(BA − λI) Hence det(AB − λI) = det(BA − λI), and so...

Hi, so I have a question that I know that there must exist some example for which the following is true, but I don't know what it would be, as 0 is not positive and 1 is neither prime nor composite. Please help if you can! Suppose that a,p,n are positive integers. Consider the claim: If p|a^n, then p^n|a^n. Are there any non-prime, positive integers for which the claim is true for all positive integers a and n? Justify your...

What condition should hold in order to multiply two matrices? A. The number of columns of the first matrix should be equal to the rows of the second matrix. B. The number of rows of the first matrix should be equal to the columns of the second matrix. C. None of the above. D. Two matrices should have the same size.

Hi, I don’t know how to solve this problem. Can you solve for me step by step... ? Thank you ? The correlation between two variables A and B is .05 with a p-value of .001. What can we conclude? I am guessing that the correlation between A and B is not significant because B is so small (.001.) ? Am I right?
