1. The document discusses diagonalizing matrices by finding a matrix T such that D = T-1AT is a diagonal matrix, where D is the diagonalized form of the original matrix A.
2. It provides 15 examples of matrices A and asks to diagonalize them if possible.
3. It also asks to show that a 2x2 matrix A is diagonalizable if the determinant (ad - bc) is positive, and not diagonalizable if the determinant is negative.
