Define what an eigenvalue is in your own words.
Think about how vectors might change with a matrix.
What does it mean for a vector to be an eigenvector?
Consider a vector that scales but does not rotate.
What is the equation for finding eigenvalues?
Remember, we adjust the matrix A by subtracting λI.
True or False: Eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues are always linearly independent.
Think about the applicability of eigenvalues.
Given the matrix M = [[3,1],[2,4]], find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Then explain how these concepts apply to real-world engineering problems.
Follow the steps through the characteristic equation.
