Question

Hello, I am in linear algebra and need help with my homework dealing with eigenvalues and eigenvectors. For question number 4, I don't know how to explain why or why not. Please give details. 4. Is 𝜆 = -4 an eigenvalue of 𝐴 = Row1 [-4 1], Row2 [0 -2]? Explain why or why not. Here is a hint my professor gave. 4) Using these values for 𝜆, are the columns of 𝐴 - 𝜆𝐼 linearly dependent?

00:01 In this problem, we have the matrix 4, 2, 2, 1.
00:05 Now, the first we find the eigenvalues, those are found by solving the determinant a minus lambda i equals to 0.
00:16 So, this is 4 minus lambda, this is 2, 2, 1 minus lambda, this must be 0.
00:23 So, from here we get 4 minus lambda into 1 minus lambda minus 4 equals to 0.
00:29 This is 4 minus 5 lambda plus lambda square minus 4 equals to 0, or we get lambda is 0 or 5.
00:40 So, these are the two eigenvalues.
00:42 Next, we find the eigenvectors.
00:47 So, first we find the eigenvector corresponding to lambda equals to 0.
00:52 So, this is nothing but first we find a minus lambda i times the eigenvector must be a 0 vector.
01:03 So, a minus lambda 1 i is 2, 2, 1 times v, let that be x, y, this is 0, 0...
