Work Step by Step

1. Find eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1-\lambda & 2 \\ 2 & -2-\lambda\\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1-\lambda & 2 \\ 2 & -2-\lambda\\ \end{bmatrix}=0$ $\left (1- \lambda \right )\left (- \lambda -2\right)=0$ $\lambda^2+\lambda-6=0$ $\lambda_1=2, \lambda_2=-3$ 2. Reduce A to row-echelor form $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & -2 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 0 & -6 \end{bmatrix} \approx\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=B$ Then, find eigenvalues: (b-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1-\lambda & 0 \\ 0 & 1-\lambda\\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1-\lambda & 0 \\ 0 & 1-\lambda\\ \end{bmatrix}=0$ $\left (1- \lambda \right )\left (- \lambda +1\right)=0$ $\lambda^2-2\lambda+1=0$ $\lambda_1=1, \lambda_2=1$ Hence, matrix A and B don't have the same eigenvalues.
