### Proof of Theorem 8.1.4

Suppose that \(\lambda_1\) and \(\lambda_2\) are two **distinct** eigenvalues for \(A\). Prove that:

\[ 
\text{Eig}(A, \lambda_1) \cap \text{Eig}(A, \lambda_2) = \{\vec{0}_n\}.
\]

In this context:
- \(\text{Eig}(A, \lambda_1)\) represents the eigenspace of eigenvalue \(\lambda_1\) for matrix \(A\).
- \(\text{Eig}(A, \lambda_2)\) represents the eigenspace of eigenvalue \(\lambda_2\) for matrix \(A\).
- \(\vec{0}_n\) is the zero vector in \(n\)-dimensional space.

The statement to prove indicates that the intersection of the eigenspaces corresponding to distinct eigenvalues \(\lambda_1\) and \(\lambda_2\) of matrix \(A\) is the set containing only the zero vector.
