A baby cow (known as a calf) is born with a weight of 62 pounds. The calf

gains 2.5 pounds per day in weight.

Using this information, write a linear

function for the weight of the calf, w,

as a function of the days, d, since it

was born.

To diagonalize an nxn matrix a means to find an invertible matrix p and a diagonal matrix d such that a pdp d p ap or [1 3 dh epap 3 let a=-3 -5 -3 3 3 1 step 1: find the eigenvalues of matrix a "2's" step 2: find the corresponding eigenvectors of a step 3: createp from eigenvectors in step 2 step 4 create d with matching eigenvalues.
