If A and B are similar matrices, say                           , then Exercise 21 shows that A and B have the

22. same eigenvalues. Suppose that λ is one of the common eigenvalues and x is a corresponding

eigenvector for A. See if you can find an eigenvector of B corresponding to λ, expressed in terms

of λ, x, and P.

     Since the standard basis for is so simple, why would one want to represent a linear operator on
23. in another basis?

     Characterize the eigenspace of                            in Example 4.

     Prove that the trace is a similarity invariant.
