How can I find the dimension of the eigenspace?
math.stackexchange.com › questions › 1859839Jul 15, 2016 · We can row-reduce it to obtain [ 1 − 1 0 0]. This corresponds to the equation x − y = 0, so x = y for every eigenvector associated to the eigenvalue λ = 8. Therefore, if ( x, y) is an eigenvector, then ( x, y) = ( x, x) = x ( 1, 1), meaning that the eigenspace is W = [ ( 1, 1)], and its dimension is 1. Share answered Jul 15, 2016 at 0:15 Gondim
