Set vector v = (c; d) is an eigenvector of eigenvalue λ = 4

Let P is an orthogonal matrix


" #
√1 c
P = √1 2
2
d

We have:

d √1

 d−c = 2

−c √1


√1 √1

1

d −c
 
 d−c = 2
P T = P −1 ⇔ 2 2 = −1
√ √1
⇔ −1

c d d−c 2 2  2
=c

 d−c
 √12


d−c =d

(
d = √1
⇔ 2
−1
c = √
2

(Because detP = det(u, v) > 0) Conclusion:


" #
√1 √1
P = 2 2
√1 −1

2 2

−1
and an eigenvector of eigenvalue λ = 4 is v = ( √12 , √ 2
)
