Solution
Denote the matrix c. We first find its eigenvalues. These are values such that
for some non-zero vector v. This is possible only if the determinant of (c – I) is zero, a condition that yields the equation
2 – 5 + 4 = 0
[s1]
Solutions are = 1 and = 4. Substituting these into [3] and solving, we obtain corresponding eigenvectors
and
