The matrix A=[-2,0,2;0,-4,0;-2,0,-6]
has a single eigenvalue=-4 with algebraic multiplicity three.
a.find the basis for the associated eigenspace.
b.is the matrix defective? select all that
apply.
1. A is not defective because the eigenvalue has algebraic
multiplicity 3.
2.A is defective because it has one eigenvalue.
3.A is defective because geometric multiplicity of the eigenvalue
is less than the algebraic multiplicity.
4.A is not defective because the eigenvectors are linearly
dependent.
