SOLUTION: Hello I am having problems in solving the eigenvectors for the matrix: 3 0 8 -1 I have already calculated the eigenvalues which are -1 and 3 but I can not get the eigenvec

Question 353075: Hello
I am having problems in solving the eigenvectors for the matrix:
3 0
8 -1
I have already calculated the eigenvalues which are -1 and 3 but I can not get the eigenvector, because of the zero in the top right hand corner.
Any help is much appreciated

Don't let the zero throw you.
[A-cI]1=
First eigenvector,:
[A-cI]1[x]=
which leads to

which leads to

.
Second eigenvector,:
[A-cI]2=
[A-cI]2[x]=
which leads to

which leads to
