Assignment to do but not turn in (may check on this in class)

Due Wed 11/29

• Section 4.1: 19 (great final exam question)
• Section 4.2: 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 (know how to use cofactors to compute determinants by Wed class; any observations about a general pattern from 15 and 16?)

Due Fri 12/1

• Section 4.4, # 1, 3, 7, 11 (by Friday 12/1)

Written Assignment 8 (Due Wed 11/29)

• Section 4.1: Problems # 4, 8, 17 (pay special attention to the differences between 4 and 8).
• Section 4.2: Problems: # 22, 31
• Section 4.8 Problems # 8, 11

Extra Assignment from Experiments 7B (extra, due Friday 12/1)

1. Specifically, find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix.
2. If there is a basis of eigenvectors, compute the values in your experiment (especially the 10th power) using the eigenvalues as in class or as in the reading in 4.8, page 342.
3. If there is no basis of eigenvectors (or if the basis is complex and you don't want to face them), choose a different matrix and do the analysis for that matrix.
