解答

(a)

解法一:使用特征方程

思路

展开

先计算特征多项式并找出两个不同的特征值。由于 λ1<λ2\lambda_1<\lambda_2,取较小的 6-6;随后解 (M+6I)v=0(M+6I)\mathbf v=\mathbf0,最后把所得特征向量除以其模长。

答题过程

展开

The characteristic equation is

det(MλI)=2λ0304λ304λ=(2λ)[λ(4+λ)12]=(2λ)(λ2)(λ+6)=0.\begin{align*} \det(M-\lambda I) =&\, \begin{vmatrix} 2-\lambda&0&3\\ 0&-4-\lambda&-3\\ 0&-4&-\lambda \end{vmatrix} \\ =&\,(2-\lambda) \bigl[\lambda(4+\lambda)-12\bigr] \\ =&\,(2-\lambda)(\lambda-2)(\lambda+6)=0. \end{align*}

Thus the two distinct eigenvalues are 6-6 and 22, so

λ1=6.\lambda_1=-6.

Let v=(x,y,z)T\mathbf v=(x,y,z)^{\mathsf T} be an eigenvector corresponding to λ1\lambda_1. From (M+6I)v=0(M+6I)\mathbf v=\mathbf0,

8x+3z=0,2y3z=0,4y+6z=0.\begin{align*} 8x+3z=&\,0, \\ 2y-3z=&\,0, \\ -4y+6z=&\,0. \end{align*}

Taking z=8z=8 gives x=3x=-3 and y=12y=12. Hence one eigenvector is

v=(3128).\mathbf v=\begin{pmatrix}-3\\12\\8\end{pmatrix}.

Its magnitude is

v=(3)2+122+82=217.|\mathbf v|=\sqrt{(-3)^2+12^2+8^2}=\sqrt{217}.

Therefore, a normalised eigenvector corresponding to λ1\lambda_1 is

1217(3128).\boxed{ \frac{1}{\sqrt{217}} \begin{pmatrix}-3\\12\\8\end{pmatrix} }.

解法二:直接使用特征向量方程

思路

展开

不展开三阶行列式,而是直接写出 Mv=λvM\mathbf v=\lambda\mathbf v 的三个分量方程。由后两个方程消去 yy,即可得到关于 λ\lambda 的二次方程;再处理 z=0z=0 的情形,便能完整确定两个不同的特征值。

答题过程

展开

Let v=(x,y,z)T\mathbf v=(x,y,z)^{\mathsf T} be a non-zero eigenvector. The equation Mv=λvM\mathbf v=\lambda\mathbf v gives

2x+3z=λx,4y3z=λy,4y=λz.\begin{align*} 2x+3z=&\,\lambda x, \\ -4y-3z=&\,\lambda y, \\ -4y=&\,\lambda z. \end{align*}

If z=0z=0, the third equation gives y=0y=0. Since v\mathbf v is non-zero, x0x\ne0, and the first equation then gives λ=2\lambda=2.

If z0z\ne0, the third equation gives

y=λz4.y=-\frac{\lambda z}{4}.

Substituting this into the second equation,

λz3z=λ2z4,λ2+4λ12=0,(λ2)(λ+6)=0.\begin{align*} \lambda z-3z=&\,-\frac{\lambda^2z}{4}, \\ \lambda^2+4\lambda-12=&\,0, \\ (\lambda-2)(\lambda+6)=&\,0. \end{align*}

Hence the two distinct eigenvalues are 6-6 and 22, so λ1=6\lambda_1=-6. Substituting λ=6\lambda=-6 into the component equations gives

8x+3z=0,2y3z=0.8x+3z=0, \qquad 2y-3z=0.

Taking z=8z=8 gives the eigenvector

(3128).\begin{pmatrix}-3\\12\\8\end{pmatrix}.

Therefore, after normalising, one suitable answer is

1217(3128).\boxed{ \frac{1}{\sqrt{217}} \begin{pmatrix}-3\\12\\8\end{pmatrix} }.

(b)

解法一:分别变换位置向量和方向向量

思路

展开

线性变换会把直线上的位置向量和方向向量分别左乘 MM。得到 l2l_2 的一点和方向后,利用恒等式“直线上任一点的位置向量与方向向量的叉积为常向量”,即可写成题目指定的形式。

答题过程

展开

Under the transformation represented by MM, the position vector becomes

M(410)=(844),M\begin{pmatrix}4\\-1\\0\end{pmatrix} =\begin{pmatrix}8\\4\\4\end{pmatrix},

and the direction vector becomes

M(201)=(130).M\begin{pmatrix}2\\0\\-1\end{pmatrix} =\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix}.

Thus l2l_2 may first be written as

r=(844)+μ(130).\mathbf r =\begin{pmatrix}8\\4\\4\end{pmatrix} +\mu\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix}.

Taking the cross product with its direction vector,

r×(130)=(844)×(130)=(12420).\begin{align*} \mathbf r\times\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix} =&\, \begin{pmatrix}8\\4\\4\end{pmatrix} \times\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix} \\ =&\,\begin{pmatrix}-12\\4\\20\end{pmatrix}. \end{align*}

Therefore,

r×(130)=(12420).\boxed{ \mathbf r\times\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix} =\begin{pmatrix}-12\\4\\20\end{pmatrix} }.

解法二:变换直线上的两个点

思路

展开

l1l_1 上分别取 μ=0\mu=0μ=1\mu=1 所得的两点,将它们都作矩阵变换。两幅像之差就是 l2l_2 的方向向量,再用其中一点写出叉积形式。

答题过程

展开

Two points on l1l_1, obtained by taking μ=0\mu=0 and μ=1\mu=1, are

P=(410)andQ=(611).P=\begin{pmatrix}4\\-1\\0\end{pmatrix} \quad\text{and}\quad Q=\begin{pmatrix}6\\-1\\-1\end{pmatrix}.

Their images under TT are

P=MP=(844),Q=MQ=(974).P'=MP=\begin{pmatrix}8\\4\\4\end{pmatrix}, \qquad Q'=MQ=\begin{pmatrix}9\\7\\4\end{pmatrix}.

Hence a direction vector of l2l_2 is

QP=(130).Q'-P'=\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix}.

Using the point PP',

r×(130)=(844)×(130)=(12420).\begin{align*} \mathbf r\times\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix} =&\, \begin{pmatrix}8\\4\\4\end{pmatrix} \times\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix} \\ =&\,\begin{pmatrix}-12\\4\\20\end{pmatrix}. \end{align*}

Therefore,

r×(130)=(12420).\boxed{ \mathbf r\times\begin{pmatrix}1\\3\\0\end{pmatrix} =\begin{pmatrix}-12\\4\\20\end{pmatrix} }.
