Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given two matrices A and B with determinants of 5 and 5 respectively, determine if they are similar if both have the same rank of 2.

💡 Hint: Consider all five invariant properties.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create an example of two matrices (A and B) that are similar. Demonstrate and calculate at least three invariant properties.

💡 Hint: Use the similarity condition B = P⁻¹AP and verify the properties.
