Solution
The first step in solving 8.4 problem number 6 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 610 The notation Ak means the matrix A multiplied with itself k times. 7. (a) Show that, for all n 3 n diagonal matrices D having entries dii, the matrix D2 is also diagonal with entries dii 2 . (b) For an arbitrary n 3 n diagonal matrix D, what do you think the entries of Dk are? 8. Show that, in general, if A is a 2 3 2 matrix, then c a11 a12 a21 a22 d 2 c a11 2 a21 2 a12 2 a22 2 d 9. Consider the matrix C c 0 1 1 0d. (a) Calculate C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , and C 5 . (b) What do you think C k is? 10. Find an example of a nonzero 2 3 2 matrix whose square is the zero matrix.
