Question
![**4.4 Compute all eigenspaces of**
Matrix \( A \) is given by:
\[
A = \begin{bmatrix}
0 & -1 & 1 & 1 \\
-1 & 1 & -2 & 3 \\
2 & -1 & 0 & 0 \\
1 & -1 & 1 & 0
\end{bmatrix}
\]
**Instructions on Calculating Eigenspaces:**
1. **Find the Eigenvalues:**
- Calculate the determinant of \( A - \lambda I \), where \( \lambda \) is a scalar, and \( I \) is the identity matrix of the same size as \( A \).
- Solve the characteristic equation \(\det(A - \lambda I) = 0\) for the eigenvalues \(\lambda\).
2. **Find the Eigenvectors:**
- For each eigenvalue \(\lambda\), solve the equation \((A - \lambda I)\mathbf{v} = 0\) to find the corresponding eigenvector(s) \(\mathbf{v}\).
3. **Determine the Eigenspaces:**
- The eigenspace corresponding to each eigenvalue is the set of all its eigenvectors, including the zero vector, which forms a vector space.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb118f15c-7f61-4bce-a3ea-8d5481c22032%2Fdaa9b33d-6554-47d5-803a-f6e94d890117%2Fxzvf36r_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
