The Case of Complex Eigenvalues
www.sosmath.com/matrix/eigen3/eigen3.htmlTherefore the matrix A has only complex eigenvalues. The trick is to treat the complex eigenvalue as a real one. Meaning we deal with it as a number and do the normal calculations for the eigenvectors. Let us see how it works on the above example. We will do the calculations for . The associated eigenvectors are given by the linear system

In Section 5.4, we saw that a matrix whose characteristic polynomial has distinct real roots is diagonalizable: it is similar to a diagonal matrix, which is much simpler to analyze.
