Work Step by Step

1. Find eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} -\lambda & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -\lambda & 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1 & -\lambda & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & -\lambda & 1\\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & -\lambda\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \\ v_3 \\ v_4 \\ v_5 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} -\lambda & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -\lambda & 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1 & -\lambda & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & -\lambda & 1\\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & -\lambda\end{bmatrix}=0$ $\lambda_1=\lambda_2=\lambda_3=\lambda_4=-1$ 2. Find eigenvectors: For $\lambda=-1$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{bmatrix} $ Let $r,s,t,v$ be free variables. $\vec{V}=r(-1,0,0,1,0)+s(-1,0,1,0,0)+t(-1,0,0,0,1)+v(-1,1,0,0,0)\\ E_1=\{(-1,0,0,1,0);(-1,0,1,0,0);(-1,0,0,0,1);(-1,1,0,0,0)\} \\ \rightarrow dim(E_2)=4$
