Let's start working through the questions presented in the image. 

### Question 1: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of Matrix A

We are given the matrix \( A \):

\[
A = \begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & -1 \\
1 & 0 & 1 \\
4 & -4 & 5
\end{pmatrix}
\]

To find the **eigenvalues** and **eigenvectors**, we need to solve the **characteristic equation**:

\[
\det(A - \lambda I) = 0
\]

where \( I \) is the identity matrix, and \( \lambda \) is the eigenvalue. Once we find the eigenvalues, we solve \( (A - \lambda I)\mathbf{v} = 0 \) to find the eigenvectors.

Would you like me to proceed step by step with the calculation for Question 1, or would you like an overview of all questions first?

Here are 5 questions that might help expand your understanding:
1. How do we compute the determinant of a 3x3 matrix?
2. Why is solving \( \det(A - \lambda I) = 0 \) necessary to find eigenvalues?
3. What is the significance of eigenvectors in linear transformations?
4. Can a matrix have more than one eigenvalue? If so, what does that imply geometrically?
5. What happens if a matrix is not diagonalizable?

**Tip**: Remember, eigenvalues can be real or complex, depending on the matrix. Real eigenvalues occur when all the entries of the matrix are real, but complex eigenvalues might appear if the matrix has complex entries.
