For these two problems, use the definition of eigenvalues.

(a) An n × n matrix is said to be nilpotent if Ak = O for some positive integer k. Show that all eigenvalues of a nilpotent matrix are 0.

(b) An n × n matrix is said to be idempotent if A2 = A. Show that all eigenvalues of a idempotent matrix are 0, or 1.
