SUMMARY
To construct a 3x3 matrix A with eigenvalues 1, 2, and 4 and corresponding eigenvectors [1 1 2]T, [2 1 -2]T, and [2 2 1]T, utilize the formula P-1AP = K. Here, P is the matrix formed by the eigenvectors as its columns, and K is the diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues. The process involves calculating the inverse of matrix P and performing matrix multiplication to derive matrix A.
