Ni nini Eigenvalue Calculator?

▾

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are fundamental concepts in linear algebra. For a square matrix A, an eigenvector v is a non-zero vector that only scales (not rotates) when A is applied: Av = λv. The scalar λ is the corresponding eigenvalue. Eigenvalues reveal the fundamental behaviour of linear transformations and appear throughout physics, engineering, statistics (PCA), and machine learning.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

Jinsi ya Eigenvalue Calculator

▾

1For 2×2 matrix [[a,b],[c,d]], eigenvalues satisfy the characteristic equation: det(A − λI) = 0
2det(A − λI) = λ² − (a+d)λ + (ad−bc) = 0
3Trace = a+d, Determinant = ad−bc
4λ = [Trace ± √(Trace² − 4·Det)] / 2
5Discriminant > 0: two real eigenvalues; < 0: complex conjugate pair

Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

▾

Mfano 1

Imetolewa:Matrix [[4,1],[2,3]]

Matokeo:λ₁=5, λ₂=2

Trace=7, Det=10, Disc=9

Mfano 2

Imetolewa:Matrix [[0,−1],[1,0]] (rotation 90°)

Matokeo:λ = ±i (complex)

Pure rotation has no real eigenvalues

Eigenvalue Interpretation

▾

Eigenvalue Type	Geometrical Meaning
λ > 1	Stretches in eigenvector direction
0 < λ < 1	Compresses in eigenvector direction
λ = 1	No change along eigenvector
λ = 0	Matrix is singular (det = 0); projects onto a subspace
λ < 0	Reflects and possibly scales
Complex λ	Rotation component; no real invariant direction
