If P is a 3 × 3 matrix such that P^T = 2P + I, where P^T is the transpose of P and I is the 3 × 3 identity matrix, then there exists a column matrix X = x
y
z ≠ 0
0
0 such that
PT=2P+I
P: 3×3,I: 3×3 identity
Find X=0 with PX=λX among λ∈{0,1,2,−1}
Transpose both sides: (PT)T=(2P+I)T
⇒P=2PT+I
PT=2P+I⋯(1)
P=2PT+I⋯(2)
Substitute (1) in (2): P=2(2P+I)+I
P=4P+2I+I=4P+3I
P=4P+3I⇒−3P=3I
⇒P=−I
PT=(−I)T=−I,2P+I=2(−I)+I=−I
⇒P=−I satisfies (1)
PX=(−I)X=−Xfor every X=0
⇒option (4)
