Work Step by Step

1. Find eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} -\lambda & 2 & -1\\ -2 & -\lambda & -2\\ 1 & 2 & -\lambda \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \\ v_3 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} -\lambda & 2 & -1\\ -2 & -\lambda & -2\\ 1 & 2 & -\lambda \end{bmatrix}=0$ $(\lambda^2+9)\lambda=0$ $\lambda_1=0,\lambda_2=3i,\lambda_3=-3i$ 2. Find eigenvectors: For $\lambda=0$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -1\\ -2 & 0 & -2\\ 1 & 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \\ v_3 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix} $ Let $r$ be a free variable. $\vec{V}=r(-2,1,2) \\ E_1=\{(-2,1,2)\} \rightarrow dim(E_1)=1$ The eigenvectors span $\{(-2,1,2)\}$ in $R$ For $\lambda=3i$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} -3i & 0 & 0\\ 3 & -3i & -1\\ 0 & 2 & -3i \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \\ v_3 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix} $ Let $s$ be a free variable. $\vec{V}=s(4+3i,6i-2,5) \\ E_2=\{(4+3i,6i-2,5) \} \rightarrow dim(E_2)=1$ The eigenvectors span $\{(4+3i,6i-2,5) \}$ in $R$ For $\lambda=-3i$ let $B=A-\lambda_1I$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 3i & 0 & 0\\ 3 & 3i & -1\\ 0 & 2 & 3i \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \\ v_3 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix} $ Let $t$ be a free variable. $\vec{V}=t(4-3i,-2-6i,5) \\ E_3=\{(4-3i,-2-6i,5)\} \rightarrow dim(E_3)=1$ The eigenvectors span $\{(4-3i,-2-6i,5)\}$ in $R$ Since there are three independent eigenvectors exist, $A$ is diagonalizable. Obtain $B=\begin{bmatrix} -2 & 3i+4 & 4-3i\\ 1 & 6i-2 & -2-6i\\ 2 & 5 & 5 \end{bmatrix} $
