Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the following matrix 3 5 3 0 4 6 0 0 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[C=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&3\\0&4&6\\0&0&1\end{array}\right)\]\[\left| C-\lambda I \right|=0\]solve for λ and you will get the eigenvalues

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will it be like ? (3-lambda) 5 3 0 (4-lambda) 6 0 0 (1-lambda)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do after that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the determinant, set it to 0 and solve for lambda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that part is confusing me, could you explain please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do we have to find the eigen vector for each eigenvalue we get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know how to find the determinant of 3 x 3 matrices right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, you need to find the eigenvectors for each eigenvalue
