If v is an eigenvector for a matrix A, can v be associated with two different eigenvalues? Prove your answer.
cannot be associate with two eigenvalues of the matrix
.
Proof : Suppose the
eigenvector associates with two
eigenvalues of
which are
and
that is
, as
is an eigen vector so it is non-zero .
a contradiction to
.
Hence cannot be associate
with two eigenvalues of the matrix
.
