Prove by Induction that An = [2n 0 ]
[ 1-2n 1 ]
[ 1-2n 1 ]
So what isProve by Induction that An = [2n 0 ]
[ 1-2n 1 ]
What is the matrix A? Also, are you familiar with induction proofs? Thank you!Prove by Induction that An = [2n 0 ]
[ 1-2n 1 ]
So what is
\(\displaystyle \begin{pmatrix}2& 0\\-1& 1\end{pmatrix}\, \, \begin{pmatrix}2^n& 0\\1-2^n& 1\end{pmatrix}\)
No 2 * 2n = 2n+1Isnt it:
[4^n........... 0]
[-4^n+1.... 1 ]
No 2 * 2n = 2n+1
You now have the first row correct but still don't have the second row correct. BTW: You should use grouping symbols, i.e. 2^(n+1), not 2^n+1 which, properly, would be read as (2^n) + 1 although the meaning is clear a lot of times because of context.So it actually = [2^n+1 0]
......................[-4^n+1 1]

Do you know how multiply matrices or just guessing?! How did you get -4^(n+1) in the second row, first column??Is it:
[2^(n+1) 0]
[ -4^(n+1) 0]
