OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that if you solve the equatio to eigenvectror, you will find a line of eigenvector, namely the subspace associated to the eigenvalue a+b has dimension equalt to 1. so your eigenvectors are:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\left(\begin{matrix} \xi \\ \frac{ b }{ a } \xi \end{matrix}\right) \] \[\forall \xi \in \mathbb{R} \] so?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I'm sorry for my typo mistakes!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for example if \[\xi = a\] what do you get, please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know :/

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please multiply the components of your eigenvectors, namely: \[\frac{ b }{ a }* \xi =\frac{ b }{ a }*a=b\] and the first component: \[\xi =a\] so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it becomes |dw:1419802804428:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but when I solved it I thought it would be |dw:1419802886248:dw|
