Linear Algebra: Permutation Matrices Let M be the matrix {{0,0,0,1,0}, {0,0,1,0,0}, {0,1,0,0,0}, {0,0,0,0,1}{1,0,0,0,0}}. What i

Multiplying M by any matrix A would return new matrix, B, in which

• the 1st row of B is equal to the 4th row of A,

• the 2nd row of B is equal to the 3rd row of A,

• the 3rd row of B is equal to the 2nd row of A,

• the 4th row of B is equal to the 5th row of A, and

• the 5th row of B is equal to the 1st row of A.

The pattern here is

1 => 4 => 5 => 1

2 => 3 => 2

Let {4, 3, 2, 5, 1} denote the matrix M, where each number refers to the row of the identity matrix, I.

Using this notation, the pattern above gives

M² = {5, 2, 3, 1, 4}

M³ = {1, 3, 2, 4, 5}

M⁴ = {4, 2, 3, 5, 1}

M⁵ = {5, 3, 2, 1, 4}

M⁶ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

so that <em>n</em> = 6.

(Notice that the first cycle has length 3 and the second one has length 2; the minimum <em>n</em> needed here is then LCM(2, 3) = 6.)

Find distance in parsec
olganol [36]

1. 200 Parsecs, 652.312 Light years 2. 8 Parsecs, 26.09248 Light years ; Use this formula, p=1/P(parallax), to solve the equation. Then multiply 3.26156 (light years per parsec) by the number of parsecs.

1. p= 1/0.005 = 200*3.26156 = 652.312

200 Parsecs, 652.312 Light years

2. p=1/0.125 = 8*3.26156 = 26.09248

8 Parsecs, 26.09248 Light years
