We are asked to find the principal components of the covariance matrix [ \Sigma = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -2 & 0 \ -2 & 5 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} ] and the proportion of total variance for the first principal component. --- Step 1: Find the eigenvalues of Σ Eigenvalues satisfy (\det(\Sigma - \lambda I) = 0). [ \Sigma - \lambda I = \begin{pmatrix} 1-\lambda & -2 & 0 \ -2 & 5-\lambda & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1-\lambda \end{pmatrix} ] Determinant: [ \det(\Sigma - \lambda I) = (1-\lambda)\begin{vmatrix}5-\lambda & 0 \ 0 & 1-\lambda\end{vmatrix} - (-2)\begin{vmatrix}-2 & 0 \ 0 & 1-\lambda\end{vmatrix} + 0 ] Step by step: [ (1-\lambda)[(5-\lambda)(1-\lambda) - 0] - (-2)[(-2)(1-\lambda) - 0] = (1-\lambda)(5-\lambda)(1-\lambda) + 4(1-\lambda) ] [ = (1-\lambda)[(5-\lambda)(1-\lambda) + 4] ] Expand ((5-\lambda)(1-\lambda) = 5 - 5\lambda - \lambda + \lambda^2 = \lambda^2 - _______ _________ _____ __________ _________ ____ ________ ______.
