Answer

$\lambda_1=-2$ $\vec{V}=(-1,0,1)r$ $\lambda_2=-2\pm i$ $\vec{V}=(1,0,0)w+ (0, 1,0)x + (0,0,1)y$

Work Step by Step

1. eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} -2-\lambda &1 &0 \\ 1& -1-\lambda&-1\\ 1&3 &-3-\lambda \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2\\ v_3 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{vmatrix} -2-\lambda &1 &0 \\ 1& -1-\lambda&-1\\ 1&3 &-3-\lambda \end{vmatrix}=0$ $\lambda_1=-2$ and $\lambda_2=-2\pm i$ =============================== 2. eigenvectors $\lambda_1=3$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B= \begin{bmatrix} -2-\lambda_1 &1 &0 \\ 1& -1-\lambda_1&-1\\ 1&3 &-3-\lambda_1 \end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix} 0&1&0 \\ 1 &1 &-1\\ 1&3 &-1 \end{bmatrix}$ Then, $B\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ Use reduced row echelon form $[B|\vec{0}]$= \[ \left(\begin{array}{@{}ccc|c@{}} 1 & 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right) \] let $r$ is a free variable. $\vec{V}=(-1,0,1)r$ ============================= $\lambda_2=\pm i$ let $B=A-\lambda_2I$ $B= \begin{bmatrix} -2-\lambda_2 &1 &0 \\ 1& -1-\lambda_2&-1\\ 1&3 &-3-\lambda_2 \end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix} -2\pm i&1&0 \\ 1 &-1\pm i&-1\\ 1&3 &-3-\pm i \end{bmatrix}$ Then, $B\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ Use reduced row echelon form $[B|\vec{0}]$= \[ \left(\begin{array}{@{}ccc|c@{}} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{array}\right) \] let $w$, $x$ , $y$ are a free variables. $\vec{V}=(1,0,0)w+ (0, 1,0)x + (0,0,1)y$
