Work Step by Step

The matrices that have five Jordan blocks corresponds to five linearly independent eigenvectors of $A$. The set S of matrices include: $\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 6 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 6 & 0& 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 6 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 6 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -2 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 6 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 6 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 6 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 6 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -2 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 6 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 6 & 0& 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 6 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 6 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -2 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$
