Step 1 1 of 5

To find the eigenvalues and a basis for the eigenspace for this
transformation all we have to do is find the eigenvalues and a basis for the
eigenspace of the standard matrix for the transformation which from
section 4.9 we see is

cos θ − sin θ
A=[ ]
sin θ cos θ

with θ = 90°. Thus

0 −1
A=[ ].
1 0

Also we know that if a standard matrix A applies an operation on x where

at the same time x is an eigenvector of A then it will be true that

T (x) = λx geometrically this means that the vector x will not change
direction, only length after the operation

Step 2 2 of 5

so we want to find a vector v that don't change direction when they are
rotated by 90 degrees

and we want to do this geometrically

Step 3 3 of 5

example of projection rotation with 90 degrees, blue line original vector ,

red line rotated vector

Step 4 4 of 5

we can see from above that there are no vectors that don't change
direction when rotated with 90 degrees

Result 5 of 5

A does not have any real eigenvalue.
