Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\) points

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The characteristic equation is given by \(\det(A-\alpha I) = 0\). \(\det \begin{bmatrix} 1-\alpha & 2 & 7 \\ 4 & -2-\alpha & 8 \\ 3 & 8 & -7-\alpha \end{bmatrix} = 0\) Expanding the determinant along the first row:…
