Determine whether matrix

A=[423212120]\textbf{A}=\begin{bmatrix}4&2&3\\2&1&2\\-1&2&0\end{bmatrix}

is diagonalizable. If it is, determine a matrix P\textbf{P} that diagonalizes it and compute P1AP\textbf{P}^{-1}\textbf{AP}. You can obtain P1AP\textbf{P}^{-1}\textbf{AP} directly from careful construction of a diagonal matrix with eigenvalues along the diagonal in the proper order.
