Problem

The matrix AA is given by

A=(−1212010003).A=\begin{pmatrix} -1&2&12\\ 0&1&0\\ 0&0&3 \end{pmatrix}.

Use the characteristic equation of AA to show that

A4=pA2+qI,A^4=pA^2+qI,

where pp and qq are integers to be determined.

给定矩阵 AA

A=(−1212010003)A=\begin{pmatrix} -1&2&12\\ 0&1&0\\ 0&0&3 \end{pmatrix}

利用 AA 的特征方程证明

A4=pA2+qIA^4=pA^2+qI

其中 pp 和 qq 为待确定的整数。

原卷通用作答要求

Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.

You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.

Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

解答

解法一

思路

由上三角矩阵的三个特征值写出特征多项式。用 Cayley–Hamilton 定理先表示 A3A^3,再乘 AA 并消去 A3A^3。

The characteristic equation is

(λ+1)(λ−1)(λ−3)=λ3−3λ2−λ+3=0.(\lambda+1)(\lambda-1)(\lambda-3)=\lambda^3-3\lambda^2-\lambda+3=0.

By the Cayley–Hamilton theorem, A3=3A2+A−3IA^3=3A^2+A-3I. Multiplying by AA and substituting for A3A^3 gives

A4= 3A3+A2−3A= 3(3A2+A−3I)+A2−3A= 9A2+3A−9I+A2−3A= 10A2−9I.\begin{align*} A^4=&\,3A^3+A^2-3A\\ =&\,3(3A^2+A-3I)+A^2-3A\\ =&\,9A^2+3A-9I+A^2-3A\\ =&\,10A^2-9I. \end{align*}

Thus (p,q)=(10,−9)(p,q)=(10,-9).

也可保留特征多项式的因式。补乘一个 A+3IA+3I,就能把两个因式都化为 A2A^2 与常数矩阵之差。

答题过程

展开

By the Cayley–Hamilton theorem, (A2−I)(A−3I)=0(A^2-I)(A-3I)=0. Multiplying by A+3IA+3I gives

(A2−I)(A2−9I)=A4−10A2+9I=0.(A^2-I)(A^2-9I)=A^4-10A^2+9I=0.

Therefore A4=10A2−9IA^4=10A^2-9I.
