To find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the given matrix:

\[
A = \begin{pmatrix} 
1 & 1 & 1 \\
2 & 3 & 5 \\
3 & 5 & 9 
\end{pmatrix}
\]

### Step 1: Eigenvalues
We start by solving the characteristic equation:

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

Where \(I\) is the identity matrix, and \(\lambda\) are the eigenvalues. The characteristic equation is obtained by subtracting \(\lambda\) from the diagonal elements of the matrix \(A\):

\[
A - \lambda I = \begin{pmatrix} 
1-\lambda & 1 & 1 \\
2 & 3-\lambda & 5 \\
3 & 5 & 9-\lambda 
\end{pmatrix}
\]

Now, calculate the determinant of this matrix:

\[
\text{det}(A - \lambda I) = \begin{vmatrix} 
1-\lambda & 1 & 1 \\
2 & 3-\lambda & 5 \\
3 & 5 & 9-\lambda 
\end{vmatrix} = 0
\]

Expanding the determinant:

\[
(1-\lambda) \begin{vmatrix} 
3-\lambda & 5 \\
5 & 9-\lambda 
\end{vmatrix} - 1 \begin{vmatrix} 
2 & 5 \\
3 & 9-\lambda 
\end{vmatrix} + 1 \begin{vmatrix} 
2 & 3-\lambda \\
3 & 5 
\end{vmatrix}
\]

This leads to a cubic equation in \(\lambda\). Solving this equation will give the eigenvalues.

### Step 2: Eigenvectors
For each eigenvalue \(\lambda_i\), we solve the system:

\[
(A - \lambda_i I)v = 0
\]

Where \(v\) is the eigenvector corresponding to \(\lambda_i\). We will solve this system for each \(\lambda_i\).
