Find the product of the eigenvalues of the matrix A = [[4, 1, 0], [1, 4, 1], [0, 1, 4]].
Answer Key:
52
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
### Solution: det(A) = 4 * (4*4 - 1*1) - 1 * (1*4 - 0) + 0 = 4 * (16 - 1) - 1 * (4) = 4 * 15 - 4 = 60 - 4 = 56... wait: 4*(15) - 1*(4) = 56. Let's recheck: A = [[4, 1, 0], [1, 4, 1], [0, 1, 4]]. det = 4*(16-1) - 1*(4-0) = 4(15) - 4 = 56. Let's set correct answer to 56.
