Step 1: Introduction

Given information:

The matrix A equals open square brackets table row 2 cell negative 3 end cell 1 row 1 cell negative 2 end cell 1 row 1 cell negative 3 end cell 2 end table close square brackets.

To find:

(1) The eigenvalues of the matrix A and the corresponding eigenvectors.

(2) The determinant of A and the trace of A.

Concept used:

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix are values and vectors (v) that satisfy the equation A v space equals space lambda v , where A is the matrix.

Formula used:

To find eigenvalues, the characteristic equation is used, which is d e t left parenthesis A space minus space lambda I right parenthesis space equals space 0, where I is the identity matrix. The eigenvalues are the solutions to this equation.
To find eigenvectors, the system of equations left parenthesis A space minus space lambda I right parenthesis v space equals space 0 is solved for each eigenvalue. The eigenvectors are the solutions to this system of equations.
