Find Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a 2x2 Matrix

  • We work through two methods of finding the characteristic equation for λ, then use this to find two eigenvalues. We use Ax=λx to calculate two eigenvectors, then look at a visualisation.

    Thanks for explaining "eigen" things with what has to be the *clearest* and *fewest* words possible in both this and the next video about diagonalizing. I say that after watching a dozen other videos on this topic, including some with elaborate moving graphics and animated icons. Most needlessly confuse exposition of concepts for exposition of methods, which you have skillfully avoided. Thanks again.

  • @Burner.Account..
    @Burner.Account.. 6 років тому +2

    I'm going through this and I can't be more confused. I managed to do the eigenvectors but all sources anywhere shows that you can basically place the ratio in any way, shape and form possible as long as the numbers are correct, even my textbook and an online vector calculator contradicts each other where for x=-y, you get [1:-1] from the book with [x:y] = [x:-x] = [1:-1] as it's logic, and [-1:1] from the calculator with [x:y] = [-y:y] = [-1:1]. And that's where I'm completely stuck as later parts that concerns differentials will produce drastically different answers if the modal matrix is different, which the modal matrix largely depends on how you present the eigenvectors which you can present it however way you like to.
    Would you mind to explain how is this possible and how can I use the right P matrix for further work? and how do you decide that lamda1 is -1 and lamda2 is 8, since the quadratic equation does not produce numbers in specific orders.

    • @MathsWithJay
      @MathsWithJay  6 років тому +1

      It doesn't matter which way round you choose lamda1 & lamda2, but this will affect the P. Have you seen the other relevant videos in ua-cam.com/play/PLgQUIweMg9eJP1QeCotIspOmwGUd8jibS.html ?

    Hi Jay, I've been applying the methodology to the rotation matrix:
    (0 - 1)(x) =(0)
    (1 0)(y) (0)
    Has eigenvalues, è =+/- 1.
    I can't seem to get sensible values for the eigenvector when è=1:
    -1x - 1y =0
    1x - 1y =0
    or when è=-1:
    1x - 1y =0
    1x +1y =0
    ... Basically x=y and x=-y
