EXAMPLE: Suppose is eigenvalue of A. Determine aneigenvalue of A 2 <strong>and</strong> A 3 . In general, what is an eigenvalue of A n ?Solution: Since is eigenvalue of A, there is a nonzero vector xsuch thatAx x.Then___Ax ___xA 2 x AxA 2 x ___xA 2 x 2 xTherefore 2 is an eigenvalue of A 2 .Show that 3 is an eigenvalue of A 3 :___A 2 x ___ 2 xA 3 x 2 AxA 3 x 3 xTherefore 3 is an eigenvalue of A 3 .In general, ______ is an eigenvalue of A n .7
