Diagonalization

4 Activities

If A‾=[−8k0−8]\A=\sm {-8}{k}{0}{-8}, then determine the values of k for which A‾\A is diagonalizable.

Enter the values of k in increasing order, separated by a comma.

For example of you find k = -2, k = 1 and k = 0, enter your answer as "-2, 0, 1". If there are none, enter the ̸ ⁣∃\not\!\exist symbol (below the equation palette).

A square n × n matrix AA is said to be diagonalizable if it is similar to a diagonal matrix, i.e. A‾=P ⁣‾ D ⁣‾ P ⁣‾ −1\A = \P \bct{\D} \P^{\bct{-1}} .
Rearranging, we have the definition that A‾\A is diagonlizable if D ⁣‾ =P ⁣‾ −1A‾P ⁣‾ \D=\P^{\bct{-1}} \A \P is diagonal.
The notation itself should make clear that this is only possible if there is an n×nn\times n matrix P ⁣‾ \P that is invertible (i.e. ∃  P ⁣‾ −1  :  P ⁣‾ P ⁣‾ −1  =  I ⁣‾ \exist \; \minv{\P} \; : \; \P\minv{\P} \; = \;\I). The question then arises: what is P ⁣‾ \P and how can we find it?
