Original question and givens

Over R, M=[[6, 3], [-1, -3]] is 2×2, λ=-2, and v=[3, 2]. Give the ordered residual Mv−λv, without assuming λ is an eigenvalue.

  • G001 — Over R, M=[[6, 3], [-1, -3]] is 2×2, λ=-2, and v=[3, 2]. Give the ordered residual Mv−λv, without assuming 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.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

[[6, 3], [-1, -3]]

After

exact real2×2 matrix;no spectrum or diagonalization inferred

Conditions: none

Use the declared real2×2 matrix;coefficients,a discriminant or one candidate residual does not automatically establish the entire spectrum or diagonalizability.

Before

row1 product1 := mul(6, 3)

After

After

λv coordinate1 = -6

Conditions: none

Multiply λ by the vector component at the same index.

Before

residual coordinate1 := sub(24, -6)

After

residual coordinate1 = 30

Conditions: none

Subtract λv from Mv coordinatewise;zero residual satisfies this equation.

After

residual coordinate2 = -5

Conditions: none

Subtract λv from Mv coordinatewise;zero residual satisfies this equation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S010

S012 · implies

Before

v=[3, 2];residual=(30, -5)

After

kernel equation is not an eigenvector certificate for v=0

Conditions: none

The zero vector has zero residual for every λ;an eigenvector must additionally be nonzero,and a zero kernel residual cannot remove that premise.
