🔷15 - Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a 3x3 Matrix

🔷14 - Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a 3x3 Matrix
Given that A is a square matrix (nxn),
Ax = kx -------(1), where
A = an nxn matrix (square matrix),
x = eigenvector of A corresponding to k,
k = eigenvalue of A corresponding to x
It is usually asked to find the eigenvalue as well as the eigenvector that satisfy the above equation.
Notice that we are only interested in the solution with x not equal to zero.
from (1), Ax = kx
Ax = kIx ------(2) ,
(A-kI)x = 0 ----(3)
the system will give a non-zero solution if and only if det (A-kI)x = 0 ,
det (A-kI) gives rise to a polynomial called the characteristic polynomial and the equation formed when det (A-kI) = 0 is called the characteristic equation. The solutions to the equation are the eigenvalues....

The reason is that since the RHS is zero, dividing through by 10 to obtain 1 does not change the value of x3, so it can be ignored.

[@calvinbasotho8437]

Hi. I need to know how you simplified that cubid equation to find 3 lambda values

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

You can combine the factor theorem and the long-division method to obtain the factors of the polynomial. hope you are familiar with the two mentioned above. Especially with the factor theorem, if f(x) is a polynomial of degree more than one and 'a ' is a number, then if f(a) is zero, then (x-a) is a factor of f(x).

FOR THOSE STUCK ON 11:05: Apply synthetic division to the lambda equation that is given. Divide the polynomial by (x-1). After doing that, you should get the values (zeros) 1, 2, 21. The reason 1 is included is because the synthetic division ending in 0 allows that factor to be included in your solution as an eigonvalue.

Hi i need to know that for long division method for finding the eigen values. What do we divide the equation with?

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

You just need to use the factor theorem. You put x = a into the cubic function, if it's zero, the x-a is a factor of the cubic function. Which means you already have one eigen value. The you divide the cubic function by the new factor x-a to obtain a quadratic function, then you find it's factors and the corresponding x values

[@alexkim7270]

Wow thanks for the clear explanation! Can I understand why when you interchange the rows in matrix, it doesn't change the final result?

[@Spartacus005]

I think it's because the rows are just stand-ins for the equations and the columns for the variables. Therefore, you can put the rows in any order and still be fine because you can solve the equation system in any order. It is once you change the order of the columns that you run into problems and change the finals result. If you were to swap Row 1 and Row 2, it'd be the same as completing Row 2 before Row 1. This does not have a bearing on the final result, so you're free to do that. If you were to swap Column 1 and Column 2, you would be switching the coefficients of x1 and x2 variables, which changes the whole system of equations. Is this making sense?

Thanks so much for input❤️❤️

[@darcash1738]

This is awesome! I was wondering, is the best way for this usually the cofactor expansion? Or if we happen to have 1's in our matrix do you think it is more worth it to do Chio's decomposition to make it one dimension lower? I tried the normal 3x3 trick where we add the first two columns on the outside of it to do that but i found this pretty messy

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

Wow, really

[@darcash1738]

@@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn honestly I don’t know I guess it depends. This cofactor expansion would be nicest in the case everything else were zeros up top. And you have to get lucky for chio bc the whole diagonal is already excluded due to the -lambda part.

It is in Row echelon form. For Row echelon form, diagonal entries are 1 and the elements of the upper triangular matrix can be any other value. Unless in a case where the elements in a row are all zeros, then it is adviced to put that row at the button. While for reduced row echelon looks like the identity matrix
