Find eigenvalues: (A-$\lambda$I)$\vec{V}$=$\vec{0}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 3-\lambda & -2 & -2\\ 1 & -\lambda & -2 \\ 0 & & 3-\lambda \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} v_1\\ v_2 \\ v_3 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 3-\lambda & -2 & -2\\ 1 & -\lambda & -2 \\ 0 & & 3-\lambda \end{bmatrix}=0$ $(3-\lambda)(\lambda^2-3\lambda+2)=0$ $(3-\lambda)(\lambda-2)(\lambda-1)$ $\lambda_1=3, \lambda_2=2,\lambda_3=1$ The eigenvalues of $A$ are $\lambda_1 = 3$ and $\lambda_2=2$, $\lambda_3=1$, therefore A is defective. A straightforward computation yields the following eigenvectors, which correspond respectively to $\lambda_1,\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$: $v_1=(3,1,0)\\ v_2=(4,1,0)\\ v_3=(5,1,-1)$ It follows from Theorem 7.4.3 that if we set $S =\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 & 5\\ 1 & 1 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $D = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 2 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$ then $e^{At} = Se^{Dt}S^{−1}$ It is easily shown that $S^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 4 & -1\\ 1 & -3 & 2\\ 0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ Substituting: $e^{At}=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 & 5\\ 1 & 1 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} e^{t} & 0 & 0\\ 0 & e^{2t} & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 3^{3t} \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 4 & -1\\ 1 & -3 & 2\\ 0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3e^{t} & 4e^{2t} &5e^{3t}\\ e^{t} & e^{2t} & e^{3t}\\ 0 & & e^{-3t} \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 4 & -1\\ 1 & -3 & 2\\ 0 & 0 &-1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} -3e^t+4e^{2t} & 12e^t-12e^{2t} & -3e^t+8e^{2t}-5e^{3t}\\ -e^t+e^{2t}&4e^t-3e^{2t} & -e^t+2e^{2t}-e^{3t}\\ 0 & 0 & e^{3t} \end{bmatrix}$
