In this video we will see an example of compute eigenvalues, eigenvectors and ultimately diagonalizing a matrix when the eigenvalues are complex or imaginary numbers. We begin by setting up the eigenvalue/eigenvector formula. For a 2x2 matrix, this becomes a quadratic equation and indeed this can have complex solutions. Row reductions, gaussian elimination, row echelon form all work the exact same way to compute the eigenvectors but now we can multiply by complex numbers as well.
