\begin{sidenote}{Eigenvector Equation}
168+
For a square matrix $A$, some vector (called an \concept{eigenvector}) $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}}$ and some scalar (called an \concept{eigenvalue}) $\lambda$, the following is true:
169+
\begin{align*}
170+
A\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}} = \lambda \overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}}
171+
\end{align*}
172+
\end{sidenote}

\begin{theorem}{Manipulating the formula to solve}
174+
\begin{alignat*}{3}
175+
& \qquad & A\mathbf{v} &= \lambda \mathbf{v}\\
176+
& \Rightarrow \qquad & A\mathbf{v} &= \lambda I\mathbf{v}\\
177+
& \Rightarrow \qquad & A\mathbf{v} - \lambda I\mathbf{v} &= 0\\
178+
& \Rightarrow \qquad & (A - \lambda I)\mathbf{v} &= 0
179+
\end{alignat*}
180+
181+
To solve for $\lambda$, use the determinant:
182+
\begin{align*}
183+
\det(A - \lambda I) = 0
184+
\end{align*}
185+
186+
After finding $\lambda$, plug in the values known for the eigenvalue and the matrix, and simplify them to become a simultaneous equation. Then solve to get a parametric equation.
