Two interacting populations of coyotes and roadrunners can be modeled by the recursive equations
h(t + 1) = 4h(t)-2f(t)
f(t + 1) = h(t) + f(t).
For each of the initial populations given in parts (a) through (c), find closed formulas for h(t) and f(t).
find an eigenbasis for the given matrice and diagonalize:
Representing the reflection about a plane E.
Arguing geometrically, find all eigen vectors and eigen values of the linear transformations. In each case, find an eigen basis if you can, and thus determine whether the given transformation is diagonalizable.
The linear transformation with, and for the vectorsandin sketched below.
23: Suppose matrix A is similar to B. What is the relationship between the characteristic polynomials of A and B? What does your answer tell you about the eigenvalues of A and B?
Three holy men (let’s call them Anselm, Benjamin, and Caspar) put little stock in material things; their only earthly possession is a small purse with a bit of gold dust. Each day they get together for the following bizarre bonding ritual: Each of them takes his purse and gives his gold away to the two others, in equal parts. For example, if Anselm has 4 ounces one day, he will give 2 ounces each to Benjamin and Caspar.
(a) If Anselm starts out with 6 ounces, Benjamin with 1 ounce, and Caspar with 2 ounces, find formulas for the amounts a(t), b(t), and c(t) each will have after tdistributions.
Hint: The vector , and will be useful.
(b) Who will have the most gold after one year, that is, after 365 distributions?
