Example 7
The matrix A in the previous example is invertible since it has
eigenvalues = 1 and = 2, neither of which is zero.
For every eigenvalue of A the geometric multiplicity is less than or equal to the algebraic
multiplicity.
A is diagonalizable if and only if the geometric multiplicity is equal to the algebraic multiplicity
for every eigenvalue.
orthogonally diagonalizes A.
