In this page characteristic vectors of matrix 5 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 5 :
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= |

= (11-λ)[(-2-λ)(-6-λ)-20]+4[7(-6-λ)+50]-7[-28-10(-2-λ)] = (11-λ)[(2+λ)(6+λ)-20]+4[-42-7λ+50]-7[-28+20+10λ] = (11-λ)[12+2λ+6λ+λ²-20]+4[8-7λ]-7[-8+10λ] = (11-λ)[λ²+8λ-8]+32-28λ+56-70λ = 11λ²+8λ-88-λ³-8λ²+88λ-98λ+88 = - λ³+3λ²-2λ = -λ³+3λ²-2λ = -λ(λ²-3λ²+2) |
To find roots let |A-λI| = 0
-λ(λ²-3λ²+2) = 0
λ = 0
Now we have to solve λ²-3λ²+2 to get another two values. For that let us factorize
λ²-3λ²+2 = 0
λ²-1λ-2λ+2 = 0
λ(λ-1)-2(λ-1) = 0
(λ-1)(λ-2) = 0
λ - 1 = 0
λ = 1
λ - 2 = 0
λ = 2
Therefore the characteristic roots (or) Eigen values are x = 0,1,2
Substitute λ = 0 in the matrix A - λI
A-λI= |
