In an unfortunate accident involving an Austrian truck, 100kgof a highly toxic substance are spilled into Lake Sils, in the Swiss Engadine Valley. The river Inn carries the pollutant down to Lake Silvaplana and later to Lake St. Moritz.


This sorry state, tweeks after the accident, can be described by the vector

x(t)=x1(t)x2(t)x3(t)pollutantinlakesilspollutantinlakesilvaplanapollutantinlakest.Mortiz}(inkg)

Suppose thatx(t+1)=[0.7000.106000208]x(t)

  1. Explain the significance of the entries of the transformation matrix in practical terms.
  2. Find closed formulas for the amount of pollutant in each of the three lakesweeks after the accident. Graph the three functions against time (on the same

axes). When does the pollution in Lake Silvaplana reach a maximum

Find a 22matrix A such that [31]and [12] are eigenvectors of A , with eigenvalues 5 and 10 , respectively.

Q38E

Page 346

Consider a rotationT(x)=Axin3in. (That is, A is an orthogonal 3x3matrix with determinant 1.) Show that T has a non-zero fixed point [i.e., a vectorT(x)=Axin3withT(v)=v]. This result is known as Euler鈥檚 theorem, after the great Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707鈥1783). Hint: Consider the characteristic polynomialrole="math" localid="1659595800447" fA(). Pay attention to the intercepts with both axes. Use Theorem 7.1.4.
