Math Problem Statement

Solve for eigen values and eigen vectors

Solve for eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the given matrix C.

Solution

The eigenvalues of matrix CC are:

λ1=1,λ2=4,λ3=1\lambda_1 = 1, \quad \lambda_2 = 4, \quad \lambda_3 = 1

The corresponding eigenvectors are:

v_2 = \begin{bmatrix} -0.5774 \\ 0.5774 \\ -0.5774 \end{bmatrix}, \quad v_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 0.3810 \\ 0.8159 \\ 0.4349 \end{bmatrix}$$ Would you like further details on how these were computed or any other clarifications? Here are some related questions: 1. What are the properties of symmetric matrices and their eigenvalues? 2. How are eigenvalues used in practical applications like stability analysis? 3. What is the significance of having repeated eigenvalues? 4. How do you normalize an eigenvector? 5. How does the determinant relate to eigenvalues? **Tip:** Eigenvalues of symmetric matrices are always real numbers.
