Question
**Problem: Diagonalize the Matrix B**

Given the matrix \( B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \), our objective is to either:

1. Find matrices \( P \) and \( D \) such that \( B = PDP^{-1} \), where \( D \) is a diagonal matrix, and \( P \) is an invertible matrix, or
2. Explain why \( B \) is not diagonalizable.

To find \( P \) and \( D \):

- **Step 1**: Calculate the eigenvalues of matrix \( B \).
- **Step 2**: Determine the eigenvectors corresponding to each eigenvalue.
- **Step 3**: Form matrix \( P \) using the eigenvectors as its columns.
- **Step 4**: Construct the diagonal matrix \( D \) with the eigenvalues on its main diagonal.
  
If there aren't enough linearly independent eigenvectors to form \( P \), then matrix \( B \) is not diagonalizable.
