Work Step by Step

1. Find eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix}6-\lambda & 5 \\ -5 & -4-\lambda \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix}6-\lambda & 5 \\ -5 & -4-\lambda \end{bmatrix}=0$ $( \lambda -1)^2=0$ $\lambda_1=\lambda_2=1$ 2. Find eigenvectors: For $\lambda=1$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 5 & 5 \\ -5 & -5 \end{bmatrix}$ Let $r$ be a free variable. $\vec{V}=r(1,1) \\ E_1=\{r(1,1)\} \rightarrow dim(E_2)=1\ne 2$ Hence, matrix $A$ is defective.
