Section 5.4: Eigenvectors and Eigenspaces (GT4)
Activity 5.4.1 (~10 min)
It’s possible to show that \(-2\) is an eigenvalue for \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&4&-2\\2&-7&9\\3&0&4\end{array}\right]\text{.}\)
Compute the kernel of the transformation with standard matrix
\begin{equation*}
A-(-2)I
=
\left[\begin{array}{ccc} \unknown & 4&-2 \\ 2 & \unknown & 9\\3&0&\unknown \end{array}\right]
\end{equation*}
to find all the eigenvectors
\(\vec x\) such that
\(A\vec x=-2\vec x\text{.}\)
Definition 5.4.1
Since the kernel of a linear map is a subspace of \(\IR^n\text{,}\) and the kernel obtained from \(A-\lambda I\) contains all the eigenvectors associated with \(\lambda\text{,}\) we call this kernel the eigenspace of \(A\) associated with \(\lambda\text{.}\)
Activity 5.4.2 (~10 min)
Find a basis for the eigenspace for the matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 0 & 3 \\ 1 & 0 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 & 3
\end{array}\right]\) associated with the eigenvalue \(3\text{.}\)
Activity 5.4.3 (~10 min)
Find a basis for the eigenspace for the matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
5 & -2 & 0 & 4 \\ 6 & -2 & 1 & 5 \\ -2 & 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 4 & 5 & -3 & 6
\end{array}\right]\) associated with the eigenvalue \(1\text{.}\)
Activity 5.4.4 (~10 min)
Find a basis for the eigenspace for the matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
4 & 3 & 0 & 0 \\ 3 & 3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 2
\end{array}\right]\) associated with the eigenvalue \(2\text{.}\)
