Statement of the question: "Let $A$ be the real matrix:
begin{bmatrix} 2 3 1 \ 1 8 2 \ 3 0 2 end{bmatrix}
For real numbers $s$, $t$, define $V(s,t) = { textbf{v} in mathbb{R}^{3} : sA^{2}textbf{v} = tAtextbf{v} }$
For all $(s,t)$ such that $V neq {0}$, find the dimension of $V$. Also, find a basis for $V$. $0$ denotes the zero-vector."
In previous parts, I have found bases for each of the eigenspaces for the eigenvalues $2, sqrt{15}, -sqrt{15}$ and have shown that the map $m : textbf{v} rightarrow Atextbf{v}$ is a bijection.
My attempt to solve this problem was to simply let $sA^{2}textbf{v} = tAtextbf{v}$ for some $s, t in mathbb{R}, textbf{v} in mathbb{R}^{3}$ and to then solve the resulting simultaneous equations, but that is either impossible or I have made some mistake at that step.
Any hints as to how this problem can be solved are appreciated. Thanks.
