Problem 2 (The Spectral Theorem): In this problem, we use the spectral theorem to compute large powers of a symmetric matrix. We also review the definition of an orthonormal matrix. 1. Suppose that V is an orthonormal matrix, i.e. the columns of matrix V (vectors V₁,...,Vn). are mutually orthogonal and have unit norm: V = [v₁|v2|\--·|vn], Vēvs = {1 Then, find the answer to the matrix product VTV. What does the result tell us about V-¹? 2. Suppose matrix A is symmetric. As discussed in class, the spectral theorem shows that A = VAVT for an orthonormal matrix V and diagonal matrix A. Show that A" = VA"VT. Is A a diagonal matrix? If so, find the diagonal entries of A". if i = j, if i #j.
