Homework Statement
Write down a 3x3 matrix A such that the equation ##\vec{y}'(t) = A \vec{y}(t)## has a basis of solutions ##y_1=(e^{-t},0,0),~~y_2 = (0,e^{2t},e^{2t}),~~y_3 = (0,1,-1)##
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I was thinking that, it looks like the matrix would have to have eigenvalues -1, 2, 0, with corresponding eignevectors (1,0,0), (0,1,1), and (0,1,-1). However, I am not sure how I would use this information to construct a matrix.
