Answer

$\lambda_1=-2$ $\vec{V}=(-1,1,0)s+(-1, 0 ,1)r$ $\lambda_2=4$ $\vec{V}=(1,1,1)t$

Work Step by Step

1. eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 0-\lambda &2 &2 \\ 2& 0-\lambda&2\\ 2&2 &0-\lambda \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2\\ v_3 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{vmatrix} 0-\lambda &2 &2 \\ 2& 0-\lambda&2\\ 2&2 &0-\lambda \end{vmatrix}=0$ $\lambda_1=-2$ $\lambda_2=4$ =============================== 2. eigenvectors $\lambda_1=-2$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B= \begin{bmatrix} 0-\lambda_1 &2 &2 \\ 2& 0-\lambda_1&2\\ 2&2 &0-\lambda_1 \end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix} 2&2 &2 \\ 2&2&2\\ 2&2 &2 \end{bmatrix}$ Then, $B\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ Use reduced row echelon form $[B|\vec{0}]$= \[ \left(\begin{array}{@{}ccc|c@{}} 1 & 1 & 1& 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right) \] let $r,s$ is a free variable. $\vec{V}=(-1,1,0)s+(-1, 0 ,1)s$ ============================= $\lambda_2=4$ let $B=A-\lambda_2I$ $B= \begin{bmatrix} 0-\lambda_2 &2 &2 \\ 2& 0-\lambda_2&2\\ 2&2 &0-\lambda_2 \end{bmatrix}$ = $\begin{bmatrix} -4&2 &2 \\ 2& -4&2\\ 2&2 &-4 \end{bmatrix}$ Then, $B\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ Use reduced row echelon form $[B|\vec{0}]$= \[ \left(\begin{array}{@{}ccc|c@{}} 1 & 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & -1& 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right) \] let $t$ is a free variable. $\vec{V}=(1,1,1)t$
