Possible intermediate steps
Find all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix M: M = (2) Find λ element C such that M v = λ v for some nonzero vector v: M v = λ v The only value of λ for which M v = λ v for any nonzero v is 2: 2 The equation M v = λ v is satisfied by each v element C^1, which means a suitable eigenvalue/eigenvector pair is: Answer: | | Eigenvalue | Eigenvector 2 | (1)
