If A is real its eigenvalues can be found by using eig(A) which returns the eigenvalues in a column vector. The eigenvectors and the eigenvalues can be found with the double assignment statement, [x,d] = eig(A)
where the columns of x are the eigenvectors and the diagonal elements of d are the eigenvalues.
Example Consider the second-order linear system

Use MATLAB to find the eigenvectors, the eigenvalues, and the modal matrix. This example was done by hand on page 93 of the text. The results can be verified using MATLAB.
