Answer

1. $\lambda_1=2$ and $\lambda_2=2$ 2. No eigenvectors

Work Step by Step

1. Find eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 2-\lambda &0 \\ 0 & 2-\lambda \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{vmatrix} 2-\lambda &0 \\ 0 & 2-\lambda \end{vmatrix}=0$ $(2-\lambda)(2-\lambda)=0$ $\lambda_1=2$ and $\lambda_2=2$ 2. Let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B= \begin{bmatrix} 2-\lambda &0 \\ 0 & 2-\lambda \end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix} 0 &0 \\ 0&0 \end{bmatrix}$ No eigenvectors.
