Finding Number of Nonzero eigenvalues [closed]












-2












$begingroup$


$A$ is a $3times3$ non-zero matrix such that $A^2=0$.
To find number of non-zero eigenvalues of $A$.
How to approach? If you can suggest a good easy to understand study material that would be really helpful.

    @Arthur I feel like det(A) = 0, as det(A^2)=0, so there is one eigen value which is equals to zero. But I'm not sure

    There is at least one eigenvalue which is equal to $0$ from that argument. And it can't be 3, since $A neq 0$. That leaves either $1$ or $2$.

Well after searching here and there I have a conclusion that A has no Nonzero eigenvalues.



AX=CX
=> (A^2)X=(C^2)X



Now A^2=0,
So C^2=0, i.e. C=0



Can anyone confirm?
