Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the given situation might be considered as a problematic definition is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
When an operator acts on a function to give the function back which is multiplied with a constant, then the function is called Eigen function of the operator and the constant is known as eigenvalue. A general eigenvalue equation is represented as,
