\textbf{Given:}

\textsf{Matrix is}

\mathsf{\left(\begin{array}{cc}4&2\\1&3\end{array}\right)}

\textbf{To find:}

\textsf{Lowest eigen value of the given matrix}

\textbf{Solution:}

\textsf{Let,}\;\mathsf{A=\left(\begin{array}{cc}4&2\\1&3\end{array}\right)}

\mathsf{The\;characteristic\;equation\;is\;|A-m\,I\,|=0}

\implies\mathsf{\left|\begin{array}{cc}4-m&2\\1&3-m\end{array}\right|=0}

\implies\mathsf{(4-m)(3-m)-2=0}

\implies\mathsf{12-4m-3m+m^2-2=0}

\implies\mathsf{m^2-7m+10=0}

\implies\mathsf{m^2-5m-2m+10=0}

\implies\mathsf{m(m-5)-2(m-5)=0}

\implies\mathsf{(m-5)(m-2)=0}

\implies\mathsf{m=2,5}

\implies\textsf{Eigen values are 2 and 5}

\therefore\textsf{Lowest eigen value is 2}
