TopicInvariant lines and eigenvalues and vectors

1 Given that 5 is an eigenvalue of the matrix $$\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } 5 & - 3 & 0
1 & 2 & 1
- 1 & 3 & 4 \end{array} \right)$$ find a corresponding eigenvector. Hence find an eigenvalue and a corresponding eigenvector of the matrix \(\mathbf { A } + \mathbf { A } ^ { 2 }\).
