Technology Exercises
The following exercise is designed to be solved using a technology utility. Typically, this will be MATLAB, Mathematica, Maple,
Derive, or Mathcad, but it may also be some other type of linear algebra software or a scientific calculator with some linear
algebra capabilities. For this exercise you will need to read the relevant documentation for the particular utility you are using. The
goal of this exercise is to provide you with a basic proficiency with your technology utility. Once you have mastered the
techniques in this exercise, you will be able to use your technology utility to solve many of the problems in the regular exercise
sets.
Section 8.3
T1. (Transition Matrices) Use your technology utility to verify Formula (5).
Section 8.5
T1. (Similarity Invariants) Choose a nonzero matrix A and an invertible matrix P. Compute and confirm
the statements in Table 1.
