List the first 9 terms of the sequence defined recursively by Sn = Sn-2. (Sn-1 - 1), with S1 = 2 and

STALIN [3.7K]

Explanation

Given that Sn = Sn-2 . (Sn-1 - 1)

Tn = Sn - Sn-1

Tn = Sn-2 . (Sn-1 - 1) - (Sn-3 . (Sn-2 - 1))

T3 = S1.(S2-1) - (S0.(S1-1)

T3 = 2.(3-1) - 1.(2-1)

T3 = 2(2) - 1(1)

T3 = 4-2

T3 = 3

T4 = S2.(S3-1) - (S1.(S2-1)

T4 =3.(-1) - 1.(2-1)

T4 = 2(2) - 1(1)

T4 = 4-2

T4 = 3

Suppose that v is an eigenvector of matrix A with eigenvalue λA, and it is also an eigenvector of matrix B with eigenvalue λB. (

galben [10]

Answer:

(a) Yes, $λ_{A}+λ_{B}$

(b) Yes, $λ_{A}λ_{B}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets understand what are eigenvectors and eigenvalues?

Note: I am using the notation $λ_{A}$ to denote Lambda(A) sign.

$v$ is an eigenvector of matrix A with eigenvalue $λ_{A}$

$v$ is also eigenvector of matrix B with eigenvalue $λ_{B}$

So we can write this in equation form as

$Av=λ_{A}v$

So what does this equation say?

When you multiply any vector by A they do change their direction. any vector that is in the same direction as of $Av$ , then this $v$ is called the eigenvector of $A$ . $Av$ is $λ_{A}$ times the original $v$ . The number $λ_{A}$ is the eigenvalue of A.

$λ_{A}$ this number is very important and tells us what is happening when we multiply $Av$ . Is it shrinking or expanding or reversed or something else?

It tells us everything we need to know!

Bonus:

By the way you can find out the eigenvalue of $Av$ by using the following equation:

$det(A-λI)=0$
