Work Step by Step

1. Find eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 5-\lambda & 5 \\ -2 & -1-\lambda \\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 5-\lambda & 5 \\ -2 & -1-\lambda \\ \end{bmatrix}=0$ $\left (5- \lambda \right ) (-1- \lambda)=0$ $\lambda^2-4\lambda+5=0$ $\lambda_1=2+i, \lambda_2=2-i$ 2. Find eigenvectors: For $\lambda_1=2+i$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 5-\lambda & 5 \\ -2 & -1-\lambda \\ \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3-i & 5\\ -2 & -3-i\\ \end{bmatrix}$ Then, $B\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ Use reduced row echelon form $[B|\vec{0}]$= \[ \left(\begin{array}{@{}cc|c@{}} 2 & 3 + i & 0 \\ 0 & 0& 0 \end{array}\right) \] Let $r$ be a free variable. $\vec{V}=r(-3-i,2) \\ E_1=\{(-3-i,2)\} \rightarrow dim(E_1)=1$ For $\lambda_1=2-i$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 5-\lambda & 5 \\ -2 & -1-\lambda \\ \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3+i & 5\\ -2 & -3+i\\ \end{bmatrix}$ Then, $B\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ Use reduced row echelon form $[B|\vec{0}]$= \[ \left(\begin{array}{@{}cc|c@{}} 2 & 3 - i & 0 \\ 0 & 0& 0 \end{array}\right) \] Let $s$ be a free variable. $\vec{V}=r(-3+i,2) \\ E_2=\{(-3+i,2)\} \rightarrow dim(E_2)=1$ Hence, matrix $A$ is nondefective.
