Question 1 (Section B) : 18-19/F.6/Quiz/P.1 of 1

This document contains a multi-part math question: (a) Find the two values of α that make the determinant of a 2x2 matrix equal to 0. (b) Given the two values of α, find the values of θ1 and θ2 that satisfy two systems of equations. (c) Let A, P, and D be defined matrices. Show that P-1AP = D. Express λ and μ in terms of n if Dn = λD + μI. (d) Use the result of part (c) to prove a given formula for An, where n is a positive integer.
