Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem, we need to:
-
Find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix : This will allow us to construct (matrix of eigenvectors) and (diagonal matrix with eigenvalues).
-
Express : Using the diagonalization formula , we find .
Let's compute this step by step.
Step 1: Matrix
Step 2: Find eigenvalues ():
Solve the characteristic equation : Simplify: Solve the quadratic equation:
Thus, the eigenvalues are:
Step 3: Find eigenvectors:
For each eigenvalue , solve to find eigenvectors.
For :

Similarly, solve .
The eigenvectors form the columns of .
Step 4: Diagonal matrix :
= \begin{bmatrix} 1 + \sqrt{1072} & 0 \\ 0 & 1 - \sqrt{1072} \end{bmatrix}.$$ ### Step 5: Compute $$A^6$$: Using $$A^6 = P D^6 P^{-1}$$: 1. Find $$D^6 = \begin{bmatrix} (1 + \sqrt{1072})^6 & 0 \\ 0 & (1 - \sqrt{1072})^6 \end{bmatrix}$$. 2. Multiply $$P D^6 P^{-1}$$.
