Homework Statement
So just curious about a specific problem that I am worries about running into on my test tomorrow. When trying to find eigen vectors with the eigen values what is there is a discrepancy between the two systems obtained after doing the matrix arithmetic?
such as after using the equation Av=λV and multiplying out all of the values, you end up with two equations that do not correspond. Such as getting y=0 for the top and 2x=3y for the second. is this even possible? and if it is what does it mean?
also looking for explanations for other scenarios such as y=-x and y=2x are the equations yielded. thank you very much for any help. and let me know if I need to go into more detail about what i am asking
