Find the characteristic polynomial and the eigenvalues of the matrix. [5 3]
[-4 4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the matrix

[5 3]

[-4 4]

The characteristic polynomial is expressed as |A - λI| = 0  where λ are the eigen values and I is am identity matrix A 2*2 identity matrix is expressed as;

[1 0]

[0 1]

Substitute into expression will give;

Find the determinant of the resulting matrix;

|A - λI| = (5- λ)(4- λ)- 3(-4) = 0

|A - λI| = 20-5 λ-4 λ+ λ²+12 = 0

|A - λI| = 20-9λ+λ²+12 = 0

-9λ+λ²+32 = 0

Rearrange;

λ²-9λ+32 = 0

Hence the characteristic polynomial is expressed as λ²-9λ+32 = 0

Get the eigen values by finding the roots of the equation;

λ = 9±√9²-4(1)(32)/2

λ = 9±√81-(128)/2

λ = 9±√-47/2

λ = 9±√-47/2

λ₁ = 9-√47 i/2 and λ₂ = 9+√47 i/2

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
