question:
Suppose $A$ is a $3\times3$ matrix such that $\det(A)=0$, $\det(A+2I)=0$, $\det(A-3I)=0$.
- Is $A$ diagonalizable?
- Is $A$ invertible?
- What is the rank of $A$?
So the solution tells me that $A$ is diagonalizable since it has $3$ distinct eigenvalues: $0$, $-1$, and $3$. But i don't understand how you get those $3$ eigenvalues. I thought that the eigenvalues would be $3$ and $-2$ since $-2$ satisfies $\det(A+2I)$ and $3$ satisfies $\det(A-3I)$. I'm really confused how you can get those $3$ eigenvalues without doing the computation on a matrix.
I know that it's not invertible since it's provided that $\det(A) = 0$.
not sure how to really figure this one out either without the matrix.
If a matrix $A$ has $\det(A) = 0$, does that mean $0$ is one of it's eigenvalues?
