![**Matrix Problems: Finding Generalized Eigenvectors**
In this example, we explore how to find the generalized eigenvectors of the given matrices.
**Question A:**
Find the generalized eigenvectors for matrix A.
\[
A = \begin{bmatrix}
3 & 1 \\
-1 & 1
\end{bmatrix}
\]
**Question B:**
Find the generalized eigenvectors for matrix B.
\[
B = \begin{bmatrix}
3 & 1 & 0 \\
-1 & 1 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 2
\end{bmatrix}
\]
**Explanation:**
The task involves calculating the generalized eigenvectors for each matrix. This requires solving the equations derived from \((A - \lambda I)^k \mathbf{x} = 0\), where \(k\) is the smallest positive integer for which this equation holds for a nonzero vector \(\mathbf{x}\). The solutions to these matrices can provide insights into their geometric and algebraic multiplicities.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/bbd48dd4-2dee-400d-8deb-40e5bd5726ec/c55ce7af-721c-4ef6-b138-e63fba6be691/b3kuk77_thumbnail.jpeg)
