linear algebra - Finding the eigenvalues of a matrix problem

So I do know how to compute the eigenvalues of a matrix. At least, that's what I thought. I got the matrix



A =
[120202021]



My approach is by finding the determinant:
det(AλIn)=0




so it becomes
det([1λ20202021λ])=0.


But this gave me 8 lambda



According to calculators, it should give me -3, 3 and 0
What did I miss?
