(i) Let A be an n×n complex matrix and f(X) a polynomial with complex coefficients. By considering the Jordan normal form of A or otherwise, show that if the eigenvalues of A are λ1,…,λn then the eigenvalues of f(A) are f(λ1),…,f(λn).
(ii) Let B=⎝⎜⎜⎜⎛abcddabccdabbcda⎠⎟⎟⎟⎞. Write B as B=f(A) for a polynomial f with A=⎝⎜⎜⎜⎛0100001000011000⎠⎟⎟⎟⎞, and find the eigenvalues of B
[Hint: compute the powers of A.]
