How to find the eigenvectors of a matrix?


Open in App
Solution

Finding eigenvectors of matrix

Let a square matrix of order n×n denoted by A then eigen value is given by

(A - λI) where I is an identity matrix of n×n same as order of matrix A and λ is any constant

Each eigen value is denoted λ1, λ2, λ3, .....

Substitute the value in AX = λ1x

Calculate the value of eigenvector x which is associated with eigenvalue λ1.

Repeat the above step for λ2, λ3, .....

Hence in this way we can find the eigenvectors of a matrix.
