Example of an explore mode question. Student is given a 3x3 matrix and is asked to find the characteristic polynomial and eigenvalues, and then eigenvectors for each eigenvalue. The part asking for eigenvectors can be repeated as often as the student wants, to be used for different eigenvalues.

\n

Assessed: calculating characteristic polynomial and eigenvectors.

\n

Feature: any correct eigenvalue will be recognised by the marking algorithm, even multiples of the obvious one(s) (which can be read off from the reduced row echelon form)

\n

Randomisation: Not randomised, just using particular matrices. I am still working on how to randomise this for 3x3; a randomised 2x2 version exists. I have several different versions for 3x3 (not all published yet), so I could make a random choice between these in a test.

\n

The implementation uses linear algebra functions such as \"find reduced echelon form\" or \"find kernel of a reduced echelon form\", from the extension \"linalg2\".

Find the characteristic polynomial, eigenvalues and eigenvectors (bases for eigenspaces) for the matrix \\(\\var{matrixA}\\).

", "advice": "

The characteristic polynomial of \\(A\\) is defined as \\(\\chi_A(t)=\\det(tI-A)\\). So in this case you should calculate

\n

\\(\\begin{vmatrix} \\simplify{t-{matrixA[0][0]}} & \\var{-matrixA[0][1]} & \\var{-matrixA[0][2]} \\\\ \\var{-matrixA[1][0]} & \\simplify{t-{matrixA[1][1]}} & \\var{-matrixA[1][2]}\\\\ \\var{-matrixA[2][0]} & \\var{-matrixA[2][1]} & \\simplify{t-{matrixA[2][2]}} \\end{vmatrix}=(\\simplify{t-{matrixA[0][0]}})\\begin{vmatrix}  \\simplify{t-{matrixA[1][1]}} & \\var{-matrixA[1][2]}\\\\  \\var{-matrixA[2][1]} & \\simplify{t-{matrixA[2][2]}} \\end{vmatrix}=\\simplify[]{(t-{matrixA[0][0]})((t-{matrixA[1][1]})(t-{matrixA[2][2]})-{matrixA[1][2]*matrixA[2][1]})}= \\var{chiA}=\\var{chiAexpanded}\\).

\n

Here we first expanded the determinant in the first column, and then we used the formula for the determinant a \\(2\\times 2\\) matrix in the last step: \\( \\begin{vmatrix}a&b\\\\c&d\\end{vmatrix}=ad-bc\\).

\n

The eigenvalues are exactly the roots of the characteristic polynomial. So the eigenvalues of \\(A\\) are \\(\\var{a}\\), \\(\\var{b}\\) and \\(\\var{c}\\).

\n

To calculate the eigenvectors for a given eigenvalues \\(\\lambda\\), we calculate the kernel of \\(A-\\lambda I\\). So, for

\n

\\(\\lambda=\\var{a}\\), we calculate the kernel of \\(\\var{matrixA-a*id(n)}\\). The reduced row echelon form is \\(\\var[fractionNumbers]{RREFa}\\). So the eigenvector for \\(\\lambda=\\var{a}\\) is

\n

\\(\\var[fractionNumbers]{v1}\\) (or any multiple of this).

\n

And for \\(\\lambda=\\var{b}\\), the reduced row echelon form of \\(\\var{matrixA-b*id(n)}\\) is \\(\\var[fractionNumbers]{RREFb}\\), and the eigenvector is \\(\\var[fractionNumbers]{v2}\\) (or any multiple).

\n

And for \\(\\lambda=\\var{c}\\), the reduced row echelon form of \\(\\var{matrixA-c*id(n)}\\) is \\(\\var[fractionNumbers]{RREFc}\\), and the eigenvector is \\(\\var[fractionNumbers]{v3}\\) (or any multiple).
