Ans: The matrix of the given quadratic form is A 1 1

1 1

D1 = ,

D2 =

1
2 1 ( 1)( 1) & D3 = |A| = (+1)2( -2)
1

The Quadratic form is positive definite if D1, D2 & D3> 0 > 2

3.

State Cayley Hamilton theorem.

Ans: Every square matrix satisfies its own characteristics equation.

4.

Find the sum and product of the eigen values of the matrix 1

2
0
3

2 1 3
1

Ans: Sum of the eigen values = Sum of the main diagonal elements = 1+0+3 = 4
Product of the eigen values = |A|= 13

5.

7 4 - 4
One of the eigen values of 4 8 1 is -9, Find the other two eigen values.

4 1 8
Ans: If 1 , 2be the other two eigen values, then

1 + 2 9 = 7 8 8 = 9 (since sum of the eigen values = sum of the leading diagonal elements)
1 + 2 = 0 =>1 = 2 (1)
912 = |A| = 441 ( since product of the eigen values = | A | )
12 = 49 => 1 49 (2)
2
substitute in (1) we get, 2 7
(1) => 1 7 . Hence the other two eigen values are 7 and -7.
UNIT -2 SEQUENCES & SERIES

6.

Test the convergence of

n log n
1

Ans: The series

n log n

is a positive term series decreases as n increases after n 2.

So we can apply integral test.

1
(1 / x)
dx
dx log (log x) 2
x log x
2 log x

By integral test, the series diverges.

A sequence { an } is said to be monotonically decreasing if an+1 an , for every n
Eg. an = { n } is monotonically increasing
an = { n } is monotonically decreasing
