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?

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?

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!

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?

Yeah, I can't really tell what you put there ahahah

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...

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 =...
