- DISCUSS: Square Roots of Matrices A square root of a matrix B is a matrix A with the property that A2=B . (This is the same definition as for a square root of a number.) Find as many square roots as you can of each matrix: [4009][1509] [Hint: If A=[abcd] , write the equations that a, b, c, and d would have to satisfy if A is the square root of the given matrix.]arrow_forwardDigital Images A four-level gray scale is shown below. aUse the gray scale to find a 66 matrix that digitally represents the image in the figure. bFind a matrix that represents a darker version of the image in the figure. cThe negative of an image is obtained by reversing light and dark, as in the negative of a photograph. Find the matrix that represents the negative of the image in the figure. How do you change the elements of the matrix to create the negative? dIncrease the contrast of the image by changing each 1 to a 0 and each 2 to a 3 in the matrix you found in part a. Draw the image represented by the resulting matrix. Does this clarify the image? eDraw the image represented by the matrix I. Can you recognize what this is? If you dont, try increasing the contrast.

The video was paused three times, and the position of the ball was measured each time. The coordinates obtained are shown in the table. ( x and y are measured in feet.) (a) Use a system of equations to find the equation of the parabola y=ax2+bx+c that passes through the three points. Solve the system using matrices. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the parabola. (c) Graphically approximate the maximum height of the ball and the point at which the ball struck the ground. (d) Analytically find the maximum height of the ball and the point at which the ball struck the ground. (e) Compare your results from parts (c) and (d).arrow_forward
