What is the Spectral Radius of the Gauss-Seidel Method for this Matrix?

Tg formed from Gauss Seidel method has a spectral radius of 2, which means that 2 is the maximum of the eigenvalues. However, the previous eigenvalues calculated were all zero, leading to confusion. Upon further examination, it was discovered that the calculation of the eigenvalues was incorrect and that there are eigenvalues with a value of 2. In summary, the spectral radius for the matrix Tg formed from Gauss Seidel method is 2, as determined by Carl.

given this matrix
[tex] x_{1} + 2 x_{2} - 2x_{3} =7 [/tex]
[tex] x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} =2 [/tex]
[tex] 2x_{1} + 2x_{2} + x_{3} =5 [/tex]

Show taht [itex] \rho(T_{g}) = 2 [/itex] where rho represenets the spectral radius for this matrix
Tg represents the matrix formed from teh Gauss Seidel method

i found Tg to be like this
[tex] \left(\begin{array}{c|ccc}0&-2&-2&7\\-1&0&-1&2\\-2&-2&0&5\end{array}\right) [/tex]

the Matrix Tg in question is
[tex] \left(\begin{array}{ccc}0&-2&-2\\-1&0&-1\\-2&-2&0\end{array}\right) [/tex]


spectral radius is the maximum of the eigenvalues. But for this matrix the eigenvalues i obtained were all zero. (Am i wrong here, do you wnat me to show the working?)
So how can the spectral radius be 2??

Please help! Your help is greatly appreciated!

Your calculation of the eigenvalues is in error (at least). For example, (1,0,-1) has eigenvalue of 2.
