jordan form question
2)A)
find the definative polinomial and the minimal polinomial of
)
find the primary decomposition of
in this case,and write the diagonal block matrices
similar to A
?
B)
find the jordan form of A defined in part A
and find the transformation matrices to the basis for which it represented in jordan form.
how i tried:
regarding A:
how i tried:
|tI-A|=
=
=
= ![t-4+(t-3)[t^{2}-5t+8]](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?t-4+(t-3)[t^{2}-5t+8])
= 
there are some roots possible by theory t=1,-1,+28,-28
t=1: 1-8+24-28
t=-1: -1-8-24-28
from the calculator the other dont work too
??

Re: jordan form question
be very careful with your signs when working out determinants. for |tI - A|, i get:
![(-2)(1) - (t-2)(-1) + (t-3)[(t-3)(t-2) - (-1)(-2)]](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?(-2)(1) - (t-2)(-1) + (t-3)[(t-3)(t-2) - (-1)(-2)])
![= -2 + t - 2 + (t-3)[t^2 - 5t + 6 - 2]](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?= -2 + t - 2 + (t-3)[t^2 - 5t + 6 - 2])
.
possible rational roots of this are 1,-1,2,-2,4,-4,8,-8,16,-16. i believe you will find this factors completely.
