    Linear Algebra: Diagonalization, Transpose, and Disctinct Eigenvectors.

    I think I got it. A = PDP^(-1) A^T = (P^-1)^T * D^T * P^T D^T = D (P^-1)^T = (P^T)^-1 A^T = (P^T)^-1 * D P^T Since P is invertible, it has linearly independent columns and so does P^T. So let P^T = M A^T = MDM^-1 Therefore A^T is diagonalizable. Therefor A^T has n linearly independent...

    Linear Algebra: Diagonalization, Transpose, and Disctinct Eigenvectors.

    I still can't piece the last bit together. I realize that A^T has linearly independent columns, and rows that aren't scalar multiples of each other. I also see that the Transpose has the same diagonal entries as the original. However, the systems I'm setting up with transpose to find...

    Evaluating a limit with l'hopital's rule

    I mean technically you're in a correct form of infinity over infinity, but thinking broadly: I learned l'hopistal's rule in single variable calculus. You're writing g(x,y) as g(x) by mistake (at least I think so). I don't know if you need to use partials in three space as such, but I always...

    Linear Algebra: Diagonalization, Transpose, and Disctinct Eigenvectors.

    Homework Statement Show that if an nxn matrix A has n linearly independent eigenvectors, then so does A^T The Attempt at a Solution Well, I understand the following: (1) A is diagonalizable. (2) A = PDP^-1, where P has columns of the independent eigenvectors (3) A is...

    Reducible Second Order Differential Equation: Ind. and First Derivative Missing

    That's where it was, I was missing the part of the derivative for integration. Thanks!

    Reducible Second Order Differential Equation: Ind. and First Derivative Missing

    Homework Statement Solve the reducible 2ODE. Assume x, y and/or y' positive where helpful. y^3 * y'' = 1 The Attempt at a Solution Well, I tried what I normally would do for x being missing. p = (dy/dx); y'' = p'p = (dp/dy)(dy/dx) So y^3 p'p = 1 p(dp/dy) = y^(-3)...

    Multivariable Calculus: Force along Line Integral

    Nvm, no it's not that big. I put a pi in the wrong place when writing it out. The work is slightly less, 16245 foot -lb

    Multivariable Calculus: Force along Line Integral

    So I have the integral from t[0, 6pi] of <0,0,185-(9t/6pi)> dot <-20sint, 20cost, 15/pi>dt = 2775/pi - (45 x pi x t) / 2 Which gives me 4,100 foot lb. Is the difference in the work done really that large? 166500 - 4100?

    Multivariable Calculus: Force along Line Integral

    Homework Statement Part 1: A 160lb man carries a 25lb paint can up a spiral staircase, which has radius 20 feet, completes 3 revolutions, and has final height 90 feet. What is the work done? Part 2: This time, the man's paint can leaks at a constant rate such that he loses 9lbs of paint...
