I got the eigenvalues to be 3 and 1, the vectors to be {-1, 1} and {1, 1}, however these answers aren't what it's looking for.
I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do if that isn't correct...

Any help is appreciated.

unit vectors have length one. so divide by length

Ah makes sense. I remember doing that in Physics a couple years ago but this is the first time I've had to do it in this class.
Thanks.
