Chapter 2, Problem 9RP

Explanation of Solution

Expressing the given vectors using matrix multiplication:

Suppose Ct be the number of children in Indiana at the beginning of the year t and At be the number of adults in Indiana at the beginning of year t.

Since during any year t, 5% of all the children become adults and 1% of all children die, the number of children at the beginning of the year  t+1 is 96% of the previous year.

Hence, the number of children in the beginning of the year  t+1 is,

Ct+1=0.96Ct

Also, during any year t , 3% of all adults die. So, 97% of all adults will live in the beginning of the year t+1  .

Therefore, the number of adults in the beginning of the year   t+1 is,

At+1=0

Type in Latex **Problem**. Let $$A = \begin{bmatrix} .5 & .2 & .3 \\ .3 & .8 & .3 \\ .2 & 0 & .4 \end{bmatrix}.$$ This matrix is an example of a **stochastic matrix**: its column sums are all equal to 1. The vectors $$\mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{bmatrix} .3 \\ .6 \\ .1 \end{bmatrix}, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 0 \\ 1\end{bmatrix}$$ are all eigenvectors of $A$. * Compute $\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]\cdot\mathbf{x}_0$ and deduce that $c_1 = 1$.* Finally, let $\mathbf{x}_k = A^k \mathbf{x}_0$.  Show that $\mathbf{x}_k \longrightarrow \mathbf{v}_1$ as $k$ goes to infinity.  (The vector $\mathbf{v}_1$ is called a **steady-state vector** for $A.$)   **Solution**.    To prove that $c_1 = 1$, we first left-multiply both sides of the above equation by $[1 \, 1\, 1]$ and then simplify both sides:$$\begin{aligned}[1 \, 1\, 1]\mathbf{x}_0 &= [1 \, 1\, 1](c_1\mathbf{v}_1 +…
