Comprehension (Q. NO. 35 to 37)
Any non-zero vector, X, is said to be characteristic vector of a matrix A, if there exist a number such that AX
= X. And then is said to be a charactristic root of the matrix A corresponding to the characteristic vector X
and vice versa.
Also AX = X (A – )X = 0
Since X 0 |A – | = 0
Thus every characteristic root of a matrix A is a root of its characteristic equation.
