The characteristic determinant is
det ( λ − 6 9 − 5 − 5 λ + 8 − 5 − 1 1 λ − 2 ) . \det\begin{pmatrix}\lambda-6&9&-5\\-5&\lambda+8&-5\\-1&1&\lambda-2\end{pmatrix}. det λ − 6 − 5 − 1 9 λ + 8 1 − 5 − 5 λ − 2 .
Expanding along the first row gives
det ( λ I − A ) = ( λ − 6 ) [ ( λ + 8 ) ( λ − 2 ) + 5 ] − 9 [ − 5 ( λ − 2 ) − 5 ] − 5 [ − 5 + ( λ + 8 ) ] = ( λ − 6 ) ( λ 2 + 6 λ − 11 ) + 45 λ − 45 − 5 λ − 15 = λ 3 − 7 λ + 6 = ( λ − 1 ) ( λ − 2 ) ( λ + 3 ) . \begin{align*}
\det(\lambda\mathbf I-\mathbf A)
=&\,(\lambda-6)\big[(\lambda+8)(\lambda-2)+5\big]\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}-9[-5(\lambda-2)-5]-5[-5+(\lambda+8)]\\
=&\,(\lambda-6)(\lambda^2+6\lambda-11)\\
&\,\hspace{2pt}+45\lambda-45-5\lambda-15\\
=&\,\lambda^3-7\lambda+6\\
=&\,(\lambda-1)(\lambda-2)(\lambda+3).
\end{align*} det ( λ I − A ) = = = = ( λ − 6 ) [ ( λ + 8 ) ( λ − 2 ) + 5 ] − 9 [ − 5 ( λ − 2 ) − 5 ] − 5 [ − 5 + ( λ + 8 )] ( λ − 6 ) ( λ 2 + 6 λ − 11 ) + 45 λ − 45 − 5 λ − 15 λ 3 − 7 λ + 6 ( λ − 1 ) ( λ − 2 ) ( λ + 3 ) .
The eigenvalues are 1 , 2 , − 3 \boxed{1,2,-3} 1 , 2 , − 3 .

By the Cayley–Hamilton theorem,
A 3 − 7 A + 6 I = 0. \mathbf A^3-7\mathbf A+6\mathbf I=\mathbf0. A 3 − 7 A + 6 I = 0 .
The eigenvalues are non-zero, so A − 1 \mathbf A^{-1} A − 1 exists. Multiplying by it gives A 2 − 7 I + 6 A − 1 = 0 \mathbf A^2-7\mathbf I+6\mathbf A^{-1}=\mathbf0 A 2 − 7 I + 6 A − 1 = 0 . Therefore
6 A − 1 = − A 2 + 7 I , A − 1 = − 1 6 A 2 + 7 6 I . \begin{align*}
6\mathbf A^{-1}=&\,-\mathbf A^2+7\mathbf I,\\
\mathbf A^{-1}=&\,-\frac16\mathbf A^2+\frac76\mathbf I.
\end{align*} 6 A − 1 = A − 1 = − A 2 + 7 I , − 6 1 A 2 + 6 7 I .
Thus ( p , q ) = ( − 1 / 6 , 7 / 6 ) (p,q)=(-1/6,7/6) ( p , q ) = ( − 1/6 , 7/6 ) .
