  1. [2 parts, 2 points each] Let A = [ 1 0 0 1 ] and let 𝐱0 = [ 1 1 ].

    1. Apply the power method to compute 𝐱k and μk for 0 k 3.
    2. Note that 𝐱k is not approaching the direction of an eigenvector of A. Why does this not contradict the power method?
  2. [4 points] Given 𝐲 and 𝐯 below, decompose 𝐲 as 𝐲 = c𝐯 + 𝐳 where c is a scalar and 𝐳 𝐯 = 0.

    𝐲 = [ 2 2 1 ] 𝐯 = [ 3 1 2 ]

  3. [2 points] Let W = Span{𝐯1,,𝐯p}. Prove that if 𝐳 𝐯i = 0 for 1 i p, then z W.
