For any non negative interger n the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind of degree n is defined as
Tn(x) = cos [ncos- 1(x)], for x E [-1, l].

Problem 4 [26 Marks]
4-1. Assume a 3 x 3 matrix A is known to have three different real eigenvalues -\\1, -\\2 and -\\3. Assume we
know that -\\1 is near -2, -\\2 is near -5 and -\\3 is near -1.
4-1-1. Explain how the power method can be used to find the values of -\\1, /\\2 and -\\3 respectively. [2x3=6]
4-1-2. Discuss how shifting can be used in 4-1-1. to accelerate the convergence of the power method. [2]
