Yes. Part (a) diagonalizes $G=B$, whose spectral radius is $3/8<1$. Thusand every initial error converges to zero. For the specified initial vector, solving $Ax=b$ gives $x=(1,-1{)}^T$ and $e_0=(-1,1{)}^T$. In fact,The special formula is not asserted for $n=0$, because the zero-eigenvalue component disappears only after the first step.
