1. ### Calculate a determinant of specific a matrix

k, l, m, a0, a1, a2 are real numbers and sequence $\{W_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$ is determined in this way: W0 = a0, W1 = a1, W2 = a2, Wn = k*W(n-1) + l*W(n-2) + m*W(n-3) for n > 2. For n > 1, how to calculate: \[ \begin{vmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} W_{n+2} & W_{n+1} &W_{n}\\ W_{n+1}...

9. ### Rotation matrix

is rotation about OX by AÂ° followed by rotation about OY by BÂ° followed by rotation about OZ by CÂ° equivalent to rotation about OX by AÂ° followed by rotation about OY' by BÂ° followed by rotation about OZ'' by CÂ° ?
10. ### Finding square root of matrix without eigenvector

A is a 2x2 matrix. (0 -2) (2 0) Find the square root of this matrix. I managed to find one of the square root, because I know A is a 90-degree anti-clockwise rotation stretched by a factor of 2. So I just have to "half" that operation and I get (1 -1) (1 1) However, there...
