Find (a) the characteristic equation, (b) the eigenvalues, and (c) the corresponding eigenvectors of the matrix. $$\left[\begin{array}{ll} 4 & -5 \\ 2 & -3 \end{array}\right]$$
Use Cramer's Rule to solve the system of linear equations, if possible. $$\begin{array}{l} 18 x_{1}+12 x_{2}=13 \\ 30 x_{1}+24 x_{2}=23 \end{array}$$
Use a graphing utility or computer software program with matrix capabilities to find the eigenvalues of the matrix. Then find the corresponding eigenvectors. $$\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 4 & -2 & -2 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$
Use a graphing utility or a computer software program with matrix capabilities and Cramer's Rule to solve for \(x_{1}\) if possible. $$\begin{aligned} -x_{1}-x_{2} \quad+x_{4}=-8 \\ 3 x_{1}+5 x_{2}+5 x_{3} \quad=24 \\ 2 x_{3}+x_{4} =-6 \\ -2 x_{1}-3 x_{2}-3 x_{3} \quad=-15 \end{aligned}$$
Use Cramer's Rule to solve the system of linear equations, if possible. $$\begin{array}{l} 2 x_{1}-x_{2}=-10 \\ 3 x_{1}+2 x_{2}=-1 \end{array}$$
