A 3X3 matrix P is such that, P^3 = P. Then the eigenvalues of P are:
1) 1, 1, -1
2) 1, 0.5 + j0.866, 0.5 - j0.866
3) 1, -0.5 + j0.866, -0.5 - j0.866
4) 0, 1, -1

Best answer
Suppose $x$ is an eigenvector of $P$, and let $\lambda$ be corresponding eigenvalue, then
$$Px=\lambda x$$
Also
$$P^3x=\lambda^3 x$$.
We are given $P^3=P$, which means
$$P^3x=Px \Rightarrow \lambda^3 x = \lambda x \Rightarrow (\lambda^3-\lambda)x=0$$
Since $x$ is non-zero, $\lambda^3-\lambda = 0$. Solving it, we get $\lambda={0,1,-1}$

every square matrix saisfies its own characterstic equation...therefore,
λ^3-λ=0
λ=0,1,-1..
but since i am deriving characterstic equation back from given matrix condition, i am not sure about it.

@shubhanshu because roots of λ^3-λ=0 will be 0,1,-1...

GATE EE 2007
The linear operation L(x) is defined by the cross product L(x) = b x X, where b=[0 1 0] and X=[xxx]' are three dimensional vectors. The 3 x 3 matrix M of this operation satisfies: L(x)=M (x1 x2 x3)' Then the eigen values of M are: (a) 0, +1,-1 (b) 1, -1, 1 (c) i, -i, 0 (d) i, -i, 1 [EE, GATE-2007, 2 marks]
