Work Step by Step

1. Find eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 3-\lambda & 1 \\ 2 & 4-\lambda \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 3-\lambda & 1 \\ 2 & 4-\lambda \end{bmatrix}=0$ $(\lambda-2)(\lambda-5)=0$ $\lambda_1=2,\lambda_2=5$ 2. Find eigenvectors: For $\lambda=2$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix} $ Let $r$ be a free variables. $\vec{V}=r(-1,1)\\ E_1=\{(-1,1)\} \\ \rightarrow dim(E_2)=1$ For $\lambda=5$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} -2 & 1 \\ 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix} $ Let $s$ be a free variables. $\vec{V}=s(1,2)\\ E_1=\{(1,2)\} \\ \rightarrow dim(E_2)=1$
