The MATLAB function eigshow is a graphical demonstration of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. When invoked by eigshow where is a matrix, a graphical dialog appears. Do not press the button labeled eig/(svd). You will see two vectors, a unit vector and the vector We will show in Chapter 15 that as the tip of traces out the unit circle2122 the tip of the vector traces out an ellipse whose center is the center of the circle. Move with the mouse until and are parallel, if you can. If you are successful, is a multiple of so Since x has length length and is an eigenvalue of corresponding to the eigenvector and its magnitude is Run eigshow for each of the following three matrices and estimate the eigenvalues, if you can make parallel to There are three possibilities: there are two distinct eigenvalues, a double eigenvalue, and two complex conjugate eigenvalues.
