**Compute a Schur Factorization of the matrix A = **

-34
-67
Because A(1, 1) = (1,1), we know that (1,1) is an eigenvector of A.

By normalizing this eigenvector, we get U1 = (1/sqrt(2))(1,1)

From U1, we get U2 = vector perpendicular to U1 = (1/sqrt(2))(-1,1)

Q = (U1, U2) =

1/sqrt(2)-1/sqrt(2)
1/sqrt(2)1/sqrt(2)
and Q^-1 =
1/sqrt(2)1/sqrt(2)
-1/sqrt(2)1/sqrt(2)
**Solution: T = (Q^-1)AQ is a Schur Factorization of A**

**T = **

**Q = **
1/sqrt(2)-1/sqrt(2)
1/sqrt(2)1/sqrt(2)
