Question 31485: Kernel Membership for a Candidate Scalar

Original question and givens

Over R, the 2×2 matrix is M=[[-3, 0], [0, 11]]. For the candidate scalar λ=11 and v=[0, 1], does v belong to ker(M−λI)? Do not assume λ is an eigenvalue.

• G001 — Over R, the 2×2 matrix is M=[[-3, 0], [0, 11]]. For the candidate scalar λ=11 and v=[0, 1], does v belong to ker(M−λI)? Do not assume λ is an eigenvalue.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
