When 1x2 + 5x + 6 is factored in the form (x + d)(x + e), it MUST be true that 2 points
the PRODUCT d-e = *
a=1 b=5 c=6

To diagonalize an nxn matrix a means to find an invertible matrix p and a diagonal matrix d such that a pdp d p ap or [1 3 dh epap 3 let a=-3 -5 -3 3 3 1 step 1: find the eigenvalues of matrix a "2's" step 2: find the corresponding eigenvectors of a step 3: createp from eigenvectors in step 2 step 4 create d with matching eigenvalues.
