1. For a polynomial p(1) = cktk + Ck-14k-1 +...+ci+co, and an n x n matrix A, we define p(A) = CkAk + Ck-1 Ak-1 + ... +CjA + col. Let A be an n x n diagonalizable matrix with characteristic polynomial PA(1) = (1-2)*(1-3)n-k where 1 <k<n - 1. In other words, let A be an n x n diagonal- izable matrix that has only 2 and 3 as eigenvalues. Explain what is wrong with the following false "proof...

Let n > 1, and let S = {1, 2, 3}" (the cartesian product of {1,2,3} n times). (a) What is Sl? Give a brief explanation. (b) For 0 <k <n, let T be the set of all elements of S with exactly k occurrences of 3's. Determine |Tx I, and prove it using a bijection. In your solution, you need to define a set Ax that involves subsets and/or cartesian products with known cardinalities. Then clearly define your bijection...
Let k 21 be a positive integer, and let r R be a non-zero real number. For any real number e, we would like to show that for all 0 SjSk-, the function satisfies the advancement operator equation (A -r)f0 (a) Show that this is true whenever J-0. You can use the fact that f(n) = crn satisfies (A-r)f = 0. (b) Suppose fm n) satisfies the equation when m s k-2 for every choice of c. Show that )...
