A square matrix A is said to
be diagonalizable if A is
similar to a diagonal matrix,
that is, if A = PDP for some
-1
invertible matrix P and some
diagonal matrix D.
An n x n matrix A is
diagonalizable if and only if
A has n linearly
independent eigenvectors.

An n x n matrix with n
distinct eigenvalues is
diagonalizable.
Determine if the following
matrix is diagonalizable.
5 -8 1
A 0 0 7
0 0 -2
…
Since the matrix is
triangular, its eigenvalues
are obviously 5, 0, and –2.
Since A is a 3 x 3 matrix with
three distinct eigenvalues, A
is diagonalizable.
