MAPLE Software Eigenvalue Problem Question

[Pooty]

Hi, this is probably really basic for anyone really good with MAPLE but I just solved an Eigenvalue problem in MAPLE and it displays the answer for lambda as a list since my problem contained a 6x6 matrix. My problem is that I want to be able to perform an operation of each individual output from the Eigenvalue problem. For instance, if you look at the bottom of the MAPLE sheet, you will see my last step, labeled, "Eigenvalue =" produced a list of values. Now I want to take the square root of EACH INDIVIDUAL eigenvalue. So how do I perform an operation of a single value in a list? Thanks.

So I was playing around with it some more and I can right click after the "list" and convert it to a vector column which is great but that conversion isn't associated with any specific name so if I wanted to then write :=sqrt(Eigenvalue) it would try and take the square root of the previous list.

Ok, I figured a way around it. It's pretty ugly but I think it works. So after converting it to a vector column, I was able to assign a name to the vector column and then I could operate on the vector column once it had a name assigned. I feel like I'm going crazy talking to myself. I do have another question... is there an operation to take the square root of a matrix or column vector? For instance :=sqrt(MatrixA) does not work.
