1. Consider the matrix A=
( 1

0 3 −1
0 −1 3)
a) Find the eigenvalues of A and their corresponding eigenvectors.
b) Consider the basis which is constructed from three eigenvectors of A. Using matrix
algebra, verify that the basis is both orthonormal and complete.

2. a) Find the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions (i.e. eigenvectors) of the operator ^ A= 2
dx
(NOTE: Restrict the search for the eigenfunctions to those complex functions that vanish
everywhere except in the region 0< x < L )
b) Normalize the eigenfunctions.
