\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:
& \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.
