Here is the question:
Question on Similar Matrices? - Yahoo! Answers
I have posted a link there to this topic so the OP can find my response.
Here is a link to the question:Let A =
7 -8 0
4 -5 0
-1 1 1
If possible, find a diagonal matrix C and an invertible matrix B such that A = BCB^-1
I have found the characteristic polynomial of A, along with the eigenvalues/vectors. However I just don't understand this question, and my notes/textbook is completely useless! I assume the two matrices A and C will be similar, thus have the same eigenvalues. But how am I supposed to show that matrix!?
