Let A be an n x n matrix and let λ be an eigenvalue of A. The collection of all eigenvectors corresponding to A, together with the zero vector, is called the eigenspace of A and is denoted by EA. qs)Why is it important that this definition includes the phrase "together with the zero vector"? (i.e., what would go wrong if this phrase was not included?)
