Homework Statement
Find a basis and dimension for each eigenspace of the matrix:
4 2
3 3
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I found the eigenvalues lambda = 1, 6. When trying to find the eigenspace for lambda = 1, I try to solve for x and y here:
|-3 -2| |x| = |0|
|-3 -2| |y| = |0|
I'm not sure how to do the matrix notation on here but I hope it is clear enough. Since I get the same equation twice in the system of equations, is this the right basis: span(-2/3, 1)?
edit: can someone also see if I did the basis for the 2nd eigenvalue (lambda = 6) correctly? I get the basis to be span(1, 1).
So each has dimension of 1
