Work Step by Step

Given: $A=\begin{bmatrix} -3& 0\\ 0 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$ We can see $A$ is diagonal, then $e^{At}=diag(e^{-3},e^t)=\begin{bmatrix} e^{-3}& 0\\ 0 & e^5 \end{bmatrix}$ For all $n \times n$ matrices A, $e^{At}$ is invertible and $$e^{-At}=)e^{At})^{-1}\\ e^{-At}=\frac{1}{e^2}\begin{bmatrix} e^5 & 0\\ 0 & e^{-3} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} e^3 & 0\\ 0 & e^{-5} \end{bmatrix}$$
