Let's find the eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues $\lambda_1 = 2 + 2i$ and $\lambda_2 = 2 - 2i$.

Step 1: Eigenvector for $\lambda_1 = 2 + 2i$

We need to solve the equation:

$(A - \lambda_1 I) \mathbf{v}_1 = 0$

Substituting $\lambda_1 = 2 + 2i$ into the matrix:

$A - \lambda_1 I = \begin{pmatrix} 1-(2+2i) & -5 \\ 1 & 3-(2+2i) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -1-2i & -5 \\ 1 & 1-2i \end{pmatrix}$

Now, we solve the system:

$\begin{pmatrix} -1-2i & -5 \\ 1 & 1-2i \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} v_{11} \\ v_{12} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}$

This leads to the following two equations:

(-1 - 2i)v_{11} - 5v_{12} = 0 \\ v_{11} + (1 - 2i)v_{12} = 0 \end{cases}$$ From the first equation: $$v_{11} = \frac{-5v_{12}}{-1-2i} = \frac{5v_{12}}{1+2i}$$ To simplify $$\frac{5}{1+2i}$$, multiply numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator: $$\frac{5}{1+2i} \cdot \frac{1-2i}{1-2i} = \frac{5(1-2i)}{(1+2i)(1-2i)} = \frac{5(1-2i)}{1 + 4} = \frac{5 - 10i}{5} = 1 - 2i$$ So, $$v_{11} = (1 - 2i)v_{12}$$ Thus, the eigenvector corresponding to $$\lambda_1 = 2 + 2i$$ can be written as: $$\mathbf{v}_1 = v_{12} \begin{pmatrix} 1 - 2i \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ For simplicity, let $$v_{12} = 1$$. Then the eigenvector is: $$\mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 - 2i \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Eigenvector for $$\lambda_2 = 2 - 2i$$ Similarly, for $$\lambda_2 = 2 - 2i$$, we solve: $$(A - \lambda_2 I) \mathbf{v}_2 = 0$$ Substituting $$\lambda_2 = 2 - 2i$$ into the matrix: $$A - \lambda_2 I = \begin{pmatrix} 1-(2-2i) & -5 \\ 1 & 3-(2-2i) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -1+2i & -5 \\ 1 & 1+2i \end{pmatrix}$$ Now, solve the system: $$\begin{pmatrix} -1+2i & -5 \\ 1 & 1+2i \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} v_{21} \\ v_{22} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}$$ From the first equation: $$v_{21} = \frac{-5v_{22}}{-1+2i} = \frac{5v_{22}}{1-2i}$$ Simplifying $$\frac{5}{1-2i}$$: $$\frac{5}{1-2i} \cdot \frac{1+2i}{1+2i} = \frac{5(1+2i)}{(1-2i)(1+2i)} = \frac{5(1+2i)}{1 + 4} = \frac{5 + 10i}{5} = 1 + 2i$$ So, $$v_{21} = (1 + 2i)v_{22}$$ Thus, the eigenvector corresponding to $$\lambda_2 = 2 - 2i$$ is: $$\mathbf{v}_2 = v_{22} \begin{pmatrix} 1 + 2i \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ For simplicity, let $$v_{22} = 1$$. Then the eigenvector is: $$\mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 + 2i \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Summary - The eigenvector corresponding to $$\lambda_1 = 2 + 2i$$ is $$\mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 - 2i \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$. - The eigenvector corresponding to $$\lambda_2 = 2 - 2i$$ is $$\mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 + 2i \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$$.
