The matrix A 0 0 0 5 5 0 5 5 0 has two real eigenvalues one
The matrix A = [0 0 0 -5 5 0 5 -5 0] has two real eigenvalues, one of multiplicity 1 and one of multiplicity 2. Find the eigenvalues and a basis of each eigenspace. lambda_1 = has multiplicity 1, with a basis of lambda_2 = has multiplicity 2, with a basis of
Solution
For the 0 eigenvalue we are solving
Ax=0
LEt, x=[a b c]
So, Ax=0 gives
-5a+5b=0 ie a=b
So,
x=[a a c]=a[1 1 0]+c[0 0 1]
So basis is
(1,1,0),(0,0,1)
