% Steps done to get eigenvalues and eigenvectors of first exercise problem
Set up vectors
x1=[2 0 6]
x2 = [0 1 0]
x3=[6 0 -4]
%make the vectors into columns for the  matrix
m1=[transpose(x1) transpose(x2) transpose(x3)]
%Find the eigenvalues
eig(m1)
%Find both the eigenvalues and eigenvectors
[v,e]=eig(m1)

%so I can redo my previous commands as a script.
