![**Problem 2: Diagonalize the Matrix**
Given the following matrix:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
-1 & 2 & 2 \\
2 & 2 & 2 \\
-3 & -6 & -6 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\]
**Task**: Find a diagonal matrix \( D \) and an invertible matrix \( P \) such that \( A = PDP^{-1} \), where \( A \) is the given matrix.
To solve this problem, follow these steps:
1. Calculate the eigenvalues of matrix \( A \).
2. Determine the corresponding eigenvectors for each eigenvalue.
3. Form matrix \( P \) using the eigenvectors as columns.
4. The diagonal matrix \( D \) will have the eigenvalues on its diagonal.
This exercise involves understanding eigenvectors and eigenvalues, matrix inversion, and matrix multiplication concepts.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb118f15c-7f61-4bce-a3ea-8d5481c22032%2Fe0437c62-3c82-4f9b-8fed-ffba0c41d1da%2Flirkhe_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
