How To Find Eigenvectors?

Write the matrix equation (Amathbf{v}=lambdamathbf{v})

Rearrange to ((A-lambda I)mathbf{v}=0)

Find the eigenvalues (lambda) by solving (det(A-lambda I)=0)

Substitute each eigenvalue into ((A-lambda I)mathbf{v}=0)

Solve the resulting homogeneous system for a nonzero vector (mathbf{v})

Any nonzero solution (mathbf{v}) is an eigenvector

Scale the eigenvector by any nonzero constant if needed

Repeat for each eigenvalue to find all eigenvectors
