\(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} -2&-4\\ { 1}&0 \end{array}} \right]\)

\(sI - A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} s&0\\ 0&s \end{array}} \right] - \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} -2&-4\\ {1}&0 \end{array}} \right] \)

\(\\ {\left( {sI - A} \right)^{ - 1}} = \frac{1}{s(s+2)+4}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {s +2}&4\\ {-1}&{s} \end{array}} \right]\)

The characteristics equation is:

s(s + 2) + 4 = 0

s2 + 2s + 4 = 0

Comparing with: 

s2 + 2ζ ωn + ωn= 0

ωn = 2 rad/s

ζ = 0.5
