Vectors of matrix
 Problems

• Prove that the given eigen value is correct.

• Prove that the given eigen vector is correct.
• Given eigen vector to find eigen value.
• Given eigen value to find eigen vector.
• Find eigen values and eigen vectors of matrix 2x2 and 3x3.
Definition
 𝟏 𝟏 𝟏
Show that is an eigen vector of A= and find the
𝟐 −𝟐 𝟒
corresponding eigen values

1 1 1 3 1
= =3
−2 4 2 6 2

𝟏
So, is an eigen value of A and 3 is the corresponding eigen value.
𝟐
Show that 2 is an eigen value of and find the
corresponding eigen vector

3−2 3 1 3
= =0 So, 2 is an eigen value of A
1 5−2 1 3
3−2 3 1 3 𝑥1 0
𝑋=0 𝑥2 =
1 5−2 1 3 0
1 3 0 1 3 0 Let X2 = t 𝑥1 −3𝑡 −3
1 3 0 0 0 0 𝑥2 = = 𝑡
X1 + 3t = 0 so, X1 = -3t 𝑡 1

(But not the same eigen vectors)

Properties of eigen values and eigen vectors

• If the eigen values are: (λ=1), (λ=3), (λ=-2), the number of eigen vectors are exactly 3.
• If the eigen values are: (λ=1), (λ=1), (λ=1), the number of eigen vectors ≤ 3.
• If the eigen values are: (λ=1), (λ=1), (λ=5), there are one eigen vector for (λ=5), and
one or two eigen vectors for (λ=1).
