ANSWER:

Step 1 of 16

Part (a)

Consider the matrix 

                                                 

(i)

Determine the eigenvalues of the matrix A. 

                                            

Solve further as,

                                                

Now, 

                                                        

Hence the eigenvalues of the matrix A are 4 and -1.
