Final answer:

The matrix exponential with eigenvalue -1 can be calculated using the formula: e^(A)t = P e^(Dt) P^(-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The matrix exponential with eigenvalue -1 can be calculated using the formula:

e^(A)t = P e^(Dt) P^(-1)

Where A is the matrix with eigenvalues on the diagonal, P is the matrix of eigenvectors, and D is a diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues as entries.

In this case, since the eigenvalue is -1, the matrix D will be:

D = [-1 0 0]

And the resulting matrix exponential will be:

e^(A)t = P e^(Dt) P^(-1)
