Let \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}{\,\,\,2}&{ - 1}&{ - 1}\\{ - 1}&{\,\,\,2}&{ - 1}\\{ - 1}&{ - 1} &{\,\,\,2}\end{aligned}} \right)\),\({{\rm{v}}_1} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}{ - 1}\\{\,\,\,0}\\{\,\,1}\end{aligned}} \right)\) and and\({{\rm{v}}_2} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}{\,\,\,1}\\{\, - 1}\\{\,\,\,\,1}\end{aligned}} \right)\). Verify that\({{\rm{v}}_1}\), \({{\rm{v}}_2}\) an eigenvector of \(A\). Then orthogonally diagonalize \(A\).
Question: 12. Exercises 12–14 concern an \(m \times n\) matrix \(A\) with a reduced singular value decomposition, \(A = {U_r}D{V_r}^T\), and the pseudoinverse \({A^ + } = {U_r}{D^{ - 1}}{V_r}^T\).
Verify the properties of\({A^ + }\):
a. For each\({\rm{y}}\)in\({\mathbb{R}^m}\),\(A{A^ + }{\rm{y}}\)is the orthogonal projection of\({\rm{y}}\)onto\({\rm{Col}}\,A\).
b. For each\({\rm{x}}\)in\({\mathbb{R}^n}\),\({A^ + }A{\rm{x}}\)is the orthogonal projection of\({\rm{x}}\)onto\({\rm{Row}}\,A\).
c. \(A{A^ + }A = A\)and \({A^ + }A{A^ + } = {A^ + }\).
Orhtogonally diagonalize the matrices in Exercises 37-40. To practice the methods of this section, do not use an eigenvector routine from your matrix program. Instead, use the program to find the eigenvalues, and for each eigenvalue \(\lambda \), find an orthogonal basis for \({\bf{Nul}}\left( {A - \lambda I} \right)\), as in Examples 2 and 3.

Question: [M] A Landsat image with three spectral components was made of Homestead Air Force Base in Florida (after the base was hit by Hurricane Andrew in 1992). The covariance matrix of the data is shown below. Find the first principal component of the data, and compute the percentage of the total variance that is contained in this component.
\[S = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{164.12}&{32.73}&{81.04}\\{32.73}&{539.44}&{249.13}\\{81.04}&{246.13}&{189.11}\end{array}} \right]\]
Question: 3. Let A be an \(n \times n\) symmetric matrix of rank r. Explain why the spectral decomposition of A represents A as the sum of r rank 1 matrices.
