What does the MATLAB function eig return when applied to a square matrix?
AEigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix
BOnly the eigenvalues of the matrix
COnly the eigenvectors of the matrix
DThe inverse of the matrix
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand the purpose of eig

    The eig function in MATLAB is designed to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square matrix.
  2. Step 2: Recall the output of eig

    When called with two output arguments, [V,D] = eig(A), it returns eigenvectors in V and eigenvalues in diagonal matrix D.
  3. Final Answer:

    Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    eig returns eigenvalues and eigenvectors [OK]
Quick Trick: Remember: eig returns both eigenvalues and eigenvectors [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking eig returns only eigenvalues
  • Confusing eig with inverse function
  • Assuming eig returns a scalar
