Topic: Engineering Mathematics

The eigen values of A = [[2, 2, 4], [2, -1, 2], [4, 2, 2]] are.

  • A. [2, 7, 2]
  • B. [-7, -2, -2]
  • C. [-2, -2, 7]
  • D. [2, -1, 2]

Answer: C. [-2, -2, 7]

Explanation: The characteristic equation is |A - λI| = 0. Solving the resulting cubic equation (λ+2)(λ²-5λ-14)=0 gives the eigenvalues λ=-2, λ=-2, and λ=7.
