Determine the eigenvalues of the matrix A\mathbf{A}.

det(AλI)=03λ452λ=0(3λ)(2λ)20=063λ2λ+λ220=0λ25λ14=0(λ7)(λ+2)=0λ1=7    or    λ2=2\begin{align*} \det\left(\mathbf{A}-\lambda\mathbf{I}\right) &= 0\\ \begin{vmatrix} 3-\lambda & 4\\ 5 & 2-\lambda \end{vmatrix} &= 0\\ \left(3-\lambda\right)\left(2-\lambda\right)-20&=0\\ 6-3\lambda-2\lambda+\lambda^2-20&=0\\ \lambda^2-5\lambda-14&=0\\ \left(\lambda-7\right)\left(\lambda+2\right)&=0\\\\ \lambda_1=7\;\;\text{or}\;\;\lambda_2&=-2 \end{align*}
