How To Compute Eigenvectors From Eigenvalues?

Start with the eigenvalue equation (Amathbf{v}=lambdamathbf{v})

Rewrite it as ((A-lambda I)mathbf{v}=0)

Substitute the given eigenvalue (lambda) into (A-lambda I)

Solve the homogeneous system ((A-lambda I)mathbf{v}=0)

Find the null space of (A-lambda I)

Choose any nonzero vector in that null space as an eigenvector

If needed, express the eigenvectors as a basis for the eigenspace

Verify by checking that (Amathbf{v}=lambdamathbf{v})
