Two n x n matrices A and B are called similar if there is an invertible matrix P such that B = P-AP. Show that two similar matrices enjoy the following properties. (a) They have the same determinant. (b) They have the same eigenvalues: specifically, show that if v is an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue 1, then P-lv is an eigenvector of B with eigenvalue l.

Let V be a finite-dimensional inner product space. For an operator TEL(V), define its norm by ||T|:= max{||Tull VEV. ||0|| = 1}. (1) To explain this, note that {l|Tu ve V, || 0 || = 1} is a non-empty subset of [0,00). The expression max{||TV|| | V EV, ||0|| = 1} means the maximum, or largest, value in this set. In words, the norm of an operator describes the maximal amount that it 'stretches' (or shrinks) vectors. (a) (1 point)...
