Solution

Two matrices A and B are said to be similar if there exists an invertible matrix P such that B = P^-1 * A * P.

Given matrices A and B are:

A = [2 0 0; 0 1 0; 0 0 3] B = [1 0 0; 0 2 0; 0 0 3]

We can see that the diagonal elements of A and B are not the same, which means that A and B are not similar. Therefore, it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a matrix P such that B = P^-1 * A * P.
