Easy linear algebra question


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.
