Teach IB Math AA HL AHL 1.15 with a printable worksheet covering eigenvalues, eigenvectors, characteristic polynomials, and diagonalisation.
Students learn how to:
• Form and solve characteristic equations
• Find eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors for 2 × 2 matrices
• Construct diagonal and modal matrices
• Use diagonalisation to calculate high powers of matrices
• Interpret eigenvalues as scale factors and eigenvectors as invariant directions
• Identify and explain when a matrix cannot be diagonalised
Carefully sequenced, exam-style questions and complete worked solutions develop both computational fluency and conceptual understanding. Advanced tasks involving repeated eigenvalues and non-diagonalisable matrices prepare students for Higher Level matrix and transformation problems.
