**Title: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Calculation for Matrices**

**Objective:**

Compute the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of the following matrices:

\[ 
\begin{bmatrix} 
1 & -12 \\ 
2 & 1 
\end{bmatrix} 
\]

and 

\[ 
\begin{bmatrix} 
1 & -3 \\ 
4 & 2 
\end{bmatrix} 
\]

**Instructions:**

1. Begin with the definition of eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
2. Use the characteristic equation \(\det(A - \lambda I) = 0\) to find eigenvalues (\(\lambda\)).
3. Substitute each eigenvalue back into the equation \((A - \lambda I)x = 0\) to find the corresponding eigenvectors. 
4. Show all steps clearly, so readers can follow the logic and calculations.

**Applications:**

Understanding eigenvalues and eigenvectors is crucial in various applications such as stability analysis, vibration analysis, and quantum mechanics.
