Im Having diffuculty in working out the nullity of a matrix, the matrix is

 

a=[ 1,-1,1;-1,1,-1;1,-1,1]

to find the nullity i was finding the eigenvalues and than working out the nullspace and than working out its dimension, is this correct? the other problem with this is i get to the polynomial equation from det(A-Lambda.I)=0

which ends up being -x^3 + 5x^2 -5x -1 which i dont think is correct, can someone please help.

 

also can someone explain to me what multiplicity is?

 

Cheers
