.2 1/4th .2 1/4th *.8 1/4th 1/4this that correct for column a?

do i divide every entry in the matrix by 1/4th ?

Homework Statement p1 goes to p2 p2 goes to p3 p3 goes to p1 p4 goes to p3 Assume that surfers have an 80% chance of following one of the links on the page, and a 20% chance of jumping to a random page. (a) Write the transition matrix A representing the surfing process. (b) Is A...

thanks guys, got it!

I took .7 , .8 , and .4 and subtracted 1 from each, then i got x1=6t x2=3t and x3=t so 60% uppers, 30% downers 10% pocketeers, is that close or am i just way off

Matrix A= 1 2 0 2 1 0 2 -1 3 i got eigenvalues k=3 k=-1 what do i do after that to prove it is not able to be diagonalized

or do i find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors?

.7 .1 .3 .15 .8 .3 .15 .1 .4 then do i just reduce the matrix equation and find the values?

Thanks guys, I think its making sense, we will see on finals week lol.

so what if a 3x3 matrix only has two eigenvalues, does that mean its not able to be diagonalized?

.7 .15 .15 .8 .2 .2 .4 .3 .3 is that say matrix A?

well since its a 3x3 matrix, the most eigenvalues it could have is 3? so since there is 3 unique eigenvalues, then it is definitely diagonalizable?

In a certain country, there are three political parties: The conservative Butter-side-up party (the Uppers), the radical Butter-side-down party (the Downers), and the progressive Pitapocket party (the Pocketeers). Recent polls show that each year, 70% of Uppers remain Uppers, 80% of Downers...

Homework Statement quick question, if there is a 3x3 matrix which has exactly 3 distinct eigenvalues why must it be diagonalizable? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

Homework Statement Integral Upper Limit 14, Lower Limit 2, [squareroot(x^2+1)]dx ; n=6 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Midpoints : 3,5,7,9,11,13 width of subintervals: (14-2)/6=2 2([squareroot(3^2+1)]+[squareroot(5^2+1)] ... is that on the right track?
