Given $\begin{bmatrix} 1-\lambda & -1 & 1\\ -1 & -1-\lambda & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1-\lambda \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \\ v_3 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\lambda_1=2,\lambda_2=-1$ a) For $\lambda=2$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} -1 & -1 & 1\\ -1 & -3 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ Let $r,s$ be free variables. $\vec{V}=r(-1,1,0)+s(1,0,1) \\ E_1=\{(-1,1,0);(1,0,1)\} \rightarrow dim(E_1)=2$ Let $v_1=u_1=(1,0,1)\\ v_2=u_2=(-1,1,0)$ Use the Gram-Schmidt procedure: $u_2=v_2-\frac{}{||u_1||^2} u_1=\frac{1}{2}(-1,2,1)$ An orthogonal basis for $E_1=\{(1,0,1);(-1,2,1)\}$ b) $\lambda=-1$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 1\\ -1 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ Let $t$ be free variables. $\vec{V}=t(-1,-1,1) \\ E_2=\{(-1,-1,1)\} \rightarrow dim(E_1)=1$ Let $v=(-1,-1,1)$ Obtain $=0=$ The vectors in $E_1$ are orthogonal to the vectors in $E_2$
