Given $v$ an eigenvector of an $m \times m$ matrix $A$ with eigenvalue of $5$, where $|v| = 1$, is it the case that $v'*A'*A*v = 5$?
$A*v = 5*v \Rightarrow$
$A'*A*v = 5*A'*v \Rightarrow$
$v'*A'*A*v = 5*v'*A'*v \Rightarrow $
$(A*v)'*(A*v) = 5*v'*A'*v$.
Stuck here
No, $Av = 5v$ and so $(5v)' = (Av)' = v'A'$. Thus
$$v'A'Av = (5v')(5v) = 5^2v'v = 25|v|^2 = 25$$
