Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the following 3x3 matrix (reading left to right, top to bottom): (1 0 2 3 1 1 2 0 1)

The eigenvalues are given by the characteristic equation (1-x)((1-x)^2-4)=0, which gives the values x=1, x=-1 and x=3 . These eigenvalues correspond to the eigenvectors (0, 1, 0), (1, -1, -1) and (1, -5, 1) respectively.
