The problem presented asks to determine the **modal matrix \(P\)** of a matrix \(A\), and verify that \(P^{-1}AP\) is diagonal.

The matrix \(A\) is given as:

\[
A = \begin{pmatrix}
-2 & 2 & -3 \\
2 & 1 & -6 \\
-1 & 2 & 0
\end{pmatrix}
\]

### Steps to solve:

1. **Find the eigenvalues of \(A\)**:
   The eigenvalues \(\lambda\) are obtained by solving the characteristic equation \(\det(A - \lambda I) = 0\), where \(I\) is the identity matrix.

2. **Find the eigenvectors for each eigenvalue**:
   For each eigenvalue \(\lambda_i\), solve \((A - \lambda_i I)\mathbf{v}_i = 0\) to get the corresponding eigenvector \(\mathbf{v}_i\).

3. **Construct the modal matrix \(P\)**:
   The modal matrix \(P\) is formed by taking the eigenvectors as columns of the matrix.

4. **Verify that \(P^{-1}AP\) is diagonal**:
   Calculate \(P^{-1}AP\) and check if the result is a diagonal matrix (which should contain the eigenvalues along the diagonal).

I will start by finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of \(A\). Let me calculate that now.The eigenvalues of the matrix \(A\) are:

\[
\lambda_1 = -3, \quad \lambda_2 = 1 + 2.828i, \quad \lambda_3 = 1 - 2.828i
\]

The corresponding eigenvectors are:

\[
\mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} -0.9487 \\ 0 \\ -0.3162 \end{pmatrix}, \quad
\mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 0.4082 \\ 0.8165 \\ 0.1361 - 0.3849i \end{pmatrix}, \quad
\mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 0.4082 \\ 0.8165 \\ 0.1361 + 0.3849i \end{pmatrix}
\]

### Modal matrix \(P\):
The modal matrix \(P\) is constructed by using these eigenvectors as columns. So:

\[
P = \begin{pmatrix}
-0.9487 & 0.4082 & 0.4082 \\
0 & 0.8165 & 0.8165 \\
-0.3162 & 0.1361 - 0.3849i & 0.1361 + 0.3849i
\end{pmatrix}
\]

Next, let's check if \(P^{-1}AP\) is diagonal. I will calculate that.The calculation shows that \( P^{-1} A P \) is:

\[
P^{-1} A P = \begin{pmatrix}
-3 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 + 2.828i & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 - 2.828i
\end{pmatrix}
\]

This is a diagonal matrix, with the eigenvalues along the diagonal. Hence, the verification is successful, and \(P^{-1}AP\) is indeed diagonal.

### Tip:
The condition for diagonalizability is that the matrix must have enough linearly independent eigenvectors to form the matrix \(P\). Always check the multiplicity of eigenvalues.
