Question 1
(ll) Verification of -,1 and ]ts Eigrem1,a~ue 1
lo verify "f ,a vector • is an eigenvector of a matr~x A;.we look fa a sealar l. (the eigenvalue)
suci1 that t he matrb::-vector multnpllcat i:on satJs.fies the eharacte' istic equation:
A , -_ A\ .. ,
By mu tiiplyi ng the matrix A = ( 111 !) by the column vector 1 = ( ~1) . the resulting
vecio is t he zero vector;
o).-.
A :1 (
O'
Because a1ny 2ero vector can be expressed as a scalar mu tiple o t he original vec o where the
scalar is. :zerro. we,rewrite this as:
A ,1 == 0 ( 1)
-1
o Argument Since A .•1 yJelds.a perfect sea air mump e o . 1 , l is verified:as an ·e[genvector.
