...minimal polynomial? i knw that if? A matrix has a characteristic polynomial of (x-2)^5(x+1). What will be the minimal polynomial?

i knw that if i try doing P(A)=( x-2)^2(x+1) of different powers i can find it but is there an easier way to get the minimal polynomial of such a huge 6 X 6 matrix?

the answer is (x-2)^4(x+1) just need to knw a easier way to find it though
