Let A = l -1 1 l l -3 5/2 l Compute A^1000.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

matrix ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ikram tothe rescue again x) Yes sir.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

hehe :P lol im suddly sir xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe xp

You have a variety of strategies here. You can calculate A^2 and A^3, and see if there exists any kind of pattern, and then form a conjecture on what A^1000 could be. You could also factor A into XDX^(-1) where D is the diagonal matrix formed from A's eigenvalues, and where X is a matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors of A. Then A^1000 = X D^1000 X^(-1). Multiplying diagonal matrices by themselves is easy since you just multiply their diagonal entries.

so what i see is this Aِ^100=A×A.....(100 times) \(\large A_{2×4}×ِِِِA_{2×4}\) gives u a matrix lets say \large \(M_{2×4}\) lol just do what T said , im reapeating the same steps here hehe

Thank you both :p

why dnt u solve it lol dnt thank just solve :P
