1.Given a 3x3 matrix A, find the characteristic equation by subtracting r times the identity matrix from A and calculating its determinant. This gives the characteristic equation = det(A - rI), where I is the identity matrix.

2.Set the equation = 0 and solve for r. The values of r that satisfy the equation are the eigenvalues of A.

3.For each eigenvalue λ, solve the system of equations (A - rI)U = 0, where U is the eigenvector corresponding to r. This can be done by forming an augmented matrix [A - r | 0], applying row operations to put the matrix in row echelon form, and solving for the variables using back substitution.

4.Normalize the eigenvector by dividing it by its length, so that the length of the eigenvector is 1. This is necessary because eigenvectors are only unique up to a scalar multiple.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each eigenvalue r to find all the eigenvectors of A.

By using the augmented matrix and row operations, finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a 3x3 matrix can be made easier and less error-prone. It allows you to reduce the matrix to a simpler form and then solve for the variables systematically. With practice, you can become proficient in using this method to solve complex problems in linear algebra.
