"practice7 problem 13i how is it jordan normal?"


It is by definition a single Jordan block.

 

The leading diagonal is an eigenvalue and the diagonal directly above it is filled with 1's.

 

That is a single Jordan block.

 

A Jordan normal form has many blocks corresponding with various eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

 

The number of blocks for a particular eigenvalue corresponds with the number of linearly independent eigenvectors there are.
