Quick eigenvalue/eigenvector review
The eigenvectors of a matrix A are the vectors x that satisfy:
The scalar l is the eigenvalue corresponding to x
•The eigenvalues are found by solving:
•
•
•In our case, A = H is a 2x2 matrix, so we have
•
•
•The solution:
•
•
Once you know l, you find x by solving
