Symmetric Matrix Properties and Applications: A Guide | Built In

SOLVED:Prove that if A is a positive semidefinite (symmetric) matrix (see Exercise 12 for the definition), then there is a unique positive semidefinite (symmetric) matrix B with B^2=A.

SOLVED: How to prove this problem? (4,5)Theorem 4: Each of the following tests is a necessary and sufficient condition for a real symmetric matrix A to be positive semidefinite (non-negative definite):1) xtAx > 0, V x2) All the eigenvalues of A satisfy Xi > 0.3) All the principal submatrices have nonnegative determinants.4) No pivots are negative.5) There is a matrix R, possibly with dependent columns, such that A = RtR.(Proof) Exercise
