for the recurrence relations; the problem is that to find a given power, say 50, you need to know the value of the matrix at power 49 for it to work. can one generalize that even more?

WOOHOO thnx a lot.

well, thnx for the help. i'll see what i can do with it. But I think this is making it too complicated and it's a bit too advanced for what we're supposed to do. We're 12th Grade IB diploma math and I've never even heard of this type of stuff.
#4 Re: Help Me ! » mattix powers » 2007-09-23 02:38:44
but what i have just realized is that i have to get a general formula for a matrix, not for a recurence relation.

ok now i understand this part, thnx a lot
but for me the hard part is always getting a general formula.
i'll sit down and think about this though now. thnx for the help.

in my IB sl math course i got a project concerning matrix powers. i've reached a point where i have to figure out a pattern, but i've sat here for a while without success.
any help would be awsome

can anyone find a general pattern with the powers?
