The eigenvalues of a matrix are the values of \\(\\lambda\\) that satisfy the relation

\n

\\(|A-\\lambda I| = 0\\)

\n

\\(\\begin{vmatrix} \\var{a11}-\\lambda&\\var{a12}\\\\ \\var{a21}&\\var{a22}-\\lambda\\\\ \\end{vmatrix}=0\\)

\n

This gives:

\n

\\((\\var{a11}-\\lambda)*(\\var{a22}-\\lambda)-(\\var{a12})*(\\var{a21})=0\\)

\n

\\(\\lambda^2-\\simplify{{a11}+{a22}}\\lambda+\\simplify{{a11}*{a22}-{a21}*{a12}}=0\\)

\n

This can be solved using factorisation or by formula to give:

\n

\\(\\lambda =\\var{lambda1}\\) and \\(\\lambda =\\var{lambda2}\\)

\n

An eigenvector \\(v=\\begin{pmatrix} x\\\\ y\\\\ \\end{pmatrix}\\) corresponding to an eigenvalue \\(\\lambda\\) must satisfy the relation:  \\((A-\\lambda I)v = 0\\)

\n

so for \\(\\lambda=\\var{lambda1}\\)  

\n

\\(\\begin{pmatrix} \\simplify{{a11}-{lambda1}}&\\var{a12}\\\\ \\var{a21}&\\simplify{{a22}-{lambda1}}\\\\ \\end{pmatrix}\\begin{pmatrix} x\\\\ \\var{a21}\\\\ \\end{pmatrix}=0\\)           

\n

thus

\n

\\(\\var{a21}x+\\simplify{{a22}-{lambda1}}*\\var{a21}=0\\)

\n

\\(\\var{a21}x=-\\simplify{({a22}-{lambda1})*{a21}}\\)

\n

\\(x=-\\simplify{({a22}-{lambda1})}\\)
