Let A, P, and D by n x n matrices. Mark each statement true or false. Justify each answer.
a. A is diagonalizable if A = PDP^-1 for some matrix D and some invertible matrix P. Choose the correct answer below.
O The statement is true because the columns of P are the n linearly independent eigenvectors of A.
O The statement is false because A must have n distinct eigenvalues for the matrix D and P to exist.
O The statement is true because if A = PDP^-1, then A is diagonalizable by definition.
O The statement is false because the symbol D does not automatically denote a diagonal matrix.
