Math Problem Statement
Find the eigen value and eigen vector
Solution
To find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix , let's analyze the matrix shown in the image:
Step 1: Find the Eigenvalues
To find the eigenvalues, we need to solve the characteristic equation: where is the eigenvalue, and is the identity matrix.
-
Set up the matrix :
-
Calculate the determinant of this matrix and set it equal to zero:
Step 2: Solve for Eigenvectors
Once we find each eigenvalue , substitute it back into to solve for the corresponding eigenvectors.
