\begin{exerciseStatement}

Explain how to find the eigenvalues of the matrix \( \left[\begin{array}{cc}
8 & 2 \\
-15 & -3
\end{array}\right] \).

\end{exerciseStatement}
\begin{exerciseAnswer}

The characteristic polynomial of \( \left[\begin{array}{cc}
8 & 2 \\
-15 & -3
\end{array}\right] \) is \( \lambda^{2} - 5 \lambda + 6 \).



The eigenvalues of \( \left[\begin{array}{cc}
8 & 2 \\
-15 & -3
\end{array}\right] \) are \( 2 \) and \( 3 \).
