Concept:

 

Step 1: Characteristic matrix [ A - λI]

Step 2: To find eigen-value of the matrix, find the determinant of |A - λI| = 0

Calculation:

Given:

Step 1: Characteristic matrix [ A - λI]

Step 2: To find eigen value of the matrix, find the determinant of |A - λI| = 0

⇒ (2 -λ)[(λ - 2) (1 + λ) -4] -2[4 - 2λ - 8] + [4 + 4(1 + λ)] = 0

⇒ (2 -λ)[(λ - λ2 - 2 - 2λ -4] -2[- 2λ - 4] + [4 + 4+ 4λ)] = 0

⇒ -λ3 + 3λ2 +24λ + 28 = 0

⇒ (λ +2) (-λ2 + 5λ + 14) = 0

⇒ (λ +2) (λ2 - 5λ - 14) = 0

∴ λ = -2, -2, 7
