Problem C25

Define the 3x3 identity matrix

I3 <- diag(3)

Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors

eigen_data <- eigen(I3)

Extract eigenvalues and eigenvectors

eigenvalues <- eigen_data\(values eigenvectors <- eigen_data\)vectors

Eigenvalues:

1 1 1

Eigenvectors:

0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0

Explain the results:

Eigenvalues represent the scaling factor of eigenvectors under the transformation of the matrix.

For the 3x3 identity matrix, all eigenvalues are 1 because the matrix doesn’t change the direction or magnitude of any vector.
