In general, it is difficult to show that two matrices are similar. However, if two similar matrices are diagonalizable, the task becomes easier. In Exercises 1-2 show that A and are similar by showing that they are similar to the same diagonal matrix. Then find an invertible matrix P such that P-1 AP = B.
