EIGENVECTORS AND EIGENVALUES
§ The columns of A - 7 I are obviously linearly
dependent, so (2) has nontrivial solutions.
§ To find the corresponding eigenvectors, use row
operations:

THE INVERTIBLE MATRIX THEOREM

§ Theorem: Let A be an n ´ n matrix. Then A is
invertible if and only if:
s. The number 0 is not an eigenvalue of A.

SIMILARITY
§ Theorem 4: If n ´ n matrices A and B are similar, then
they have the same characteristic polynomial and hence
the same eigenvalues (with the same multiplicities).

§ Both terms grow in size, but the first term grows faster.
§ So the direction of greatest repulsion is the line through 0
and the eigenvector for the eigenvalue of larger
magnitude.
