In this page characteristic vectors of matrix 4 we are going to see how to find characteristic equation of any matrix with detailed example.
Definition :
The eigen vector can be obtained from (A- λI)X = 0. Here A is the given matrix λ is a scalar,I is the unit matrix and X is the columns matrix formed by the variables a,b and c.
Another name of characteristic Vector:
Characteristic vector are also known as latent vectors or Eigen vectors of a matrix.
Question 4 :
Determine the characteristic vector of the matrix

To find eigen vector first let us find characteristic roots of the given matrix.
Let A = |
|
The order of A is 3 x 3. So the unit matrix I = |

Now we have to multiply λ with unit matrix I.
λI = |

A-λI= |

= (4-λ)[(10-λ)(-13- λ)+120]+
20[-2(-13-λ)-24]-10[60-6(10-λ)]
= (4-λ)[-130-10 λ+13λ+λ²+120]+20[26+2λ-24]-10[60-60+6λ]
= (4-λ)[-10+3λ+λ²]+20[2+2λ]-10[6λ]
= (4-λ)[λ²+3λ-10]+20[2+2λ]-10[6λ]
= 4λ²+12λ-40-λ³-3λ²+10λ+40λ+40-60λ
= -λ³ + 1λ² + 2λ
To find roots let |A-λI| = 0
-λ³ + 1λ² + 2λ = 0
For solving this equation -λ from all the terms
-λ (λ² - 1λ - 2) = 0
-λ = 0 (or) λ² - 1 λ - 2 = 0
λ = 0 (λ+1) (λ-2) = 0
λ + 1 = 0 λ - 2 = 0
λ = - 1 λ = 2
Therefore the characteristic roots (or) Eigen values are x = 0,-1,2
Substitute λ = 0 in the matrix A - λI
