Let A=I2-2MMT, where M is a real matrix of order 2 1 such that the relation MTM=I1 holds. If is a real number such that the relation AX= X holds for some non-zero real matrix X of order 2 1, then the sum of squares of all possible values of is equal to .
Answer
2
Solution
A2=I2-4MMT+4M (MTM )MT=I2-4MMT+4MMT=I2
( MTM=I1)
AX= X A2X= AX= 2X X= 2X
X O: 2=1 = 1
(Both occur: X=M gives AM=M-2M=-M; X M gives AX=X.)
Sum of squares =1+1=2
Answer: 2
