Instructions:
1. This is not group activity. Each student should do the problems and submit it
individually.
2. Assignments have to be handwritten and uploaded as a single pdf file with name
BITSID.pdf
3. Submissions beyond 15th December 23.00 hrs would not be graded.
4. Assignments sent via email/ other electronic forms would not be accepted.
5. Copying is strictly prohibited. Adoption of unfair means would lead to disciplinary
action.
4. A machine learning researcher comes across the following matrix while analyzing
data from a learning problem. He realizes that a careful study of this matrix and its
properties will help him design a faster algorithm to solve the learning problem. In
this matrix the value of a = 1 and b = −1. He makes an interesting observation
that 𝐴2 = 8I. He wants to find the answer to the following questions. Derive the
answer to the following questions from the properties of the matrix rather than
doing long numerical computations involving the full matrix .What are the
eigenvalues of this matrix?
