Math Problem Statement

Find the eigen value and eigen vector

Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix A

Solution

To find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix AA, let's analyze the matrix shown in the image:

A=[122121110]A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & -2 \\ 1 & 2 & 1 \\ -1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

Step 1: Find the Eigenvalues

To find the eigenvalues, we need to solve the characteristic equation: det(AλI)=0\det(A - \lambda I) = 0 where λ\lambda is the eigenvalue, and II is the identity matrix.

  1. Set up the matrix AλIA - \lambda I: AλI=[1λ2212λ111λ]A - \lambda I = \begin{bmatrix} -1 - \lambda & 2 & -2 \\ 1 & 2 - \lambda & 1 \\ -1 & -1 & -\lambda \end{bmatrix}

  2. Calculate the determinant of this matrix and set it equal to zero: det(AλI)=0\det(A - \lambda I) = 0

Step 2: Solve for Eigenvectors

Once we find each eigenvalue λ\lambda, substitute it back into (AλI)x=0(A - \lambda I) \vec{x} = 0 to solve for the corresponding eigenvectors.
