Other correct answers are possible; the diagonal entries of D must be 1, 2, and 2 in some order, and the
columns of P must be linearly independent eigenvectors of A whose order matches the order of their eigen-
values in D.

You may use, without justification, the fact that the eigenvalues of A are X = 1 and X = 2.
(a) Find an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λ = 1.
(b) Find a basis for the eigenspace of A corresponding to the eigenvalue X = 2.
(c) Is A diagonalizable? If not, explain why not; if so, find an invertible matrix P and a diagonal matrix D
such that A = PDP-1 (you do not have to compute P-¹).
