CharacteristicPolynomial(A, t)
A
-
Matrix
t
name; variable
The CharacteristicPolynomial(A, t) command returns the characteristic polynomial in t that has the eigenvalues of Matrix A as its roots (all multiplicities respected).
This polynomial is the determinant of t⁢Id−A, where Id is the identity Matrix with Dimension(A).
