    Solving second order linear homogeneous differential equation HELP?

    So I got the Jordan form to be : [ -1 1 ] [ 0 -1 ] and A is: [ -2 -1 ] [ 1 0 ] But I need to find a matrix P so that A = PJP^-1. Any ideas on how to find P?

    Solving second order linear homogeneous differential equation HELP?

    So, after getting the generalized eigenvectors, how do i get it to Jordan normal form? My book doesn't explain this part. Is there some steps I need to follow?

    Solving second order linear homogeneous differential equation HELP?

    So what is the difference between solving for eigenvectors the regular way and the generalized way? Also what is Jordan normal form? Thanks a lot for your help!

    Solving second order linear homogeneous differential equation HELP?

    So, when after finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, do I form a matrix out of the eigenvectors? Would that be the answer? How is that a Jordan matrix?

    Solving second order linear homogeneous differential equation HELP?

    Do you think you can explain more as to why I need to find the matrix W = (y,z)^T? And also when finding A for system W = AW, how is it similar to a Jordan matrix. Maybe I'm not understanding the Jordan matrix...

    Help me Vector Calculus Stumped on how to do these problems

    1) Let S be the first-octant portion of the paraboloid z = x^2 + y^2 that is cut off by the plane z=4. If F(x,y,z) = (x^2 + z)i + (y^2z)j + (x^2 + y^2 + z)k , find the flux of F through S. 2) Let S be the surface of the region bounded by the coordinate planes and the planes x + 2z = 4 and y =...
