    What is A^n for Matrix A = k+1, k-1?

    Actually it's not homework I figured it out anyway...

    What is A^n for Matrix A = k+1, k-1?

    If k=3, for example: A= a;b ___c;dA^n= 2^(n-1)(a^n; b^n _____________b^n; a^n) a^n= 3^(n-2)a-2^(n-1)+1 b^n= 3^(n-2)b+2^(n-1)-1

    What is A^n for Matrix A = k+1, k-1?

    Oh wait, I think I figured it out for separate k values... now I just need a general k to n relationship :S

    What is A^n for Matrix A = k+1, k-1?

    If I have a matrix A= k+1_____k-1 k-1_____k+1 What would A^n for whatever value of k or n be? What's the relationship? I only found something k=1 and 2 so far...(too confusing to type)

    Creating a Rule for A^n Matrix Power

    I see the pattern...but how would I make an equation?

    Undergrad SUV Handling: Tires & Friction - Equations Included

    SUVs are supposed to be unsafe because of inferior handling... the main issue is center of gravity, but do the wheels have anything to do with it as well? Do their wheels make it harder or easier to brake and turn? Equations VERY appreciated!

    Creating a Rule for A^n Matrix Power

    Homework Statement Given the matrix A= 1 2, make a rule for A^n 0 3Homework Equations A^2= 1 8 , so the first and last numbers are put to the power given (i tried other powers) 0 9 But then what about the 8? Another one: A^5= 1 242...
