Original question and givens

Over R, M=[[1, 1], [0, 8]] is 2×2, λ=8, and the nonzero candidate v=[1, 7]. Check residual components in order 1,2 and report the first nonzero component index, or none if both vanish.

  • G001 — Over R, M=[[1, 1], [0, 8]] is 2×2, λ=8, and the nonzero candidate v=[1, 7]. Check residual components in order 1,2 and report the first nonzero component index, or none if both vanish.

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

[[1, 1], [0, 8]]

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.

S012 · implies

Before

[0, 0]

After

first nonzero coordinate=none

Conditions: none

Find the first mismatch in coordinate order1,2;no mismatch with nonzero v validates only this λ,v pair,not a full eigenvalue classification.

Result

none

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
