that last page was making my browser laggy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry:S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo?:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trying to figure out a clever way to do it so I don't have to do all that multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I know that A^2n = I and A^2n+1 = A from my matrix calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the solution and the steps is A^2n = I and A^2n+1 = A only??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, but you are going to need to show how you got that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah actually:S:S sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay: for the muliplication on the diagonal we get: (1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^2 = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for not on the diagonal we get: 1/2*-1/2 + 1/2*-1/2 + 1/2*1/2 + 1/2*1/2 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see I did part a but the problem in part B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So A^2 = identity matrix then A^3 = A^2 * A = Identity * A = A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well then for A^2m it's just (A^2)^n which is just multiplying an Identity matrix a bunch of times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for A^2n+1 = A^2n * A = (A^2)^n * A = A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep A^2n = (A^2)^n = Id^n = Id A^2n+1 = (A^2)^n * A= Id * A = A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find conditions on a and b such that the following system of linear equations has a no solution b unique solution or c infinitely solution x+y+3z=2 x+2y+4z=3 x+3y+az=b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry Iam making u tired :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure how to effectively do that one.
