there is
<br /> A\epsilon M_{2x2}(Q)<br />
I am given that A is diagonazable
prove that
A)
<br /> A^10+12A <br />
is diagonizable too

B)give an example for a matrix B\epsilon M_{2x2}(Q)
that is not diagonizable,but b^2 is diagonisable
??

i know that the eigenvalues of a matrix are the same as for every matrix
like A^10 or A^3+2A+3I etc..

but i don't now how to show what they ask
??

i mistakeny put it here
it should be on calculus
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
