Eigenvector, solving Ax=b
$begingroup$
Hi I have another question where I don’t really know where to start....
Let A be a symmetric 3x3 matrix, with EV1 being (0,0,1) for $lambda_1$=0 and EV2 b=(2,1,0) for $lambda_2=1$. the third Eigenvalue be negativ.
With b from above give one solution for Ax=b
I honestly have no idea where to start, I can calculate the third eigenvector, and I know that the determinant of A is 0. I first thought of Cramer’s rule, but then I would have to divide by 0.
The only vague thing i could possibly think of is to go back to
$$Ax=lambda x $$
So i know lambda and x that would give me
A * (2,1,0)^t=1 * (2,10)
And this could only be true if A = I
So the solution would be x1=1 x2=1 and x3 = 0,
But i guess this is just stupid
I honestly have no idea...
Many thanks

You know that $b$ is an eigenvector of $A$ with eigenvalue $1$, correct? If so, then the equation $Ax=b$ has a solution in $x=b$.

Your problem is you have 2 Eigen values and the corresponding eigenvectors and you need to find the 3rd?

Well it follows from the definitions. We know that $b$ has eigenvalue $1$, so we have $Ab=1cdot b=b$.

For the eigenvector $vec b, Avec b=lambdavec bimpliesvec b=Acdotfrac{vec b}lambda (lambdane0)$
So one solution for the system $Avec x=vec b$ for eigenvector $vec b=[2,1,0]^T$ corresponding to the non-zero eigenvalue $lambda=1$ is $vec b/lambda$. Additionally, since $det A=0$, the system $Avec x=vec b$ can have either no or infinitely many solutions. Since one solution $vec b/lambda$ has been shown to exist, we know that infinitely many solutions exist.
Note that $vec x=frac{vec b}lambda+kcdot[0,0,1]^T,kinBbb R$, will always be a solution to the system as $A(frac{vec b}lambda+kcdot[0,0,1]^T)=vec b+kcdot A[0,0,1]^T=vec b because A[0,0,1]^T=0$
