Question 39572: Proof of a singular matrix:
I need to show (in general) that either matrix A is "singular" or "A^2 = A^(-1)". A is an n*n square matrix such that A^4 = A. I want to know how to do this problem and what happens if the exponent values are different.(for example, odd number exponents?)

Question 40449: I posted a question just a few minutes ago and Nate answered it but he didn't exactly answer what I am looking for. My slope is 2/3 but how do I get this into y=mx+b format. The question is Line 2 is perpendicular to a line that passes through the points (4,-3) and (-2,6). I know that the slope is 2/3 but how do I get this into y=mx+b?

Question 40520: Last one:
Let T:R^n --> R^m be a linear transformation, and let {v1, v2, v3} be a linearly dependent set in R^n. Prove that the set {T(v1), T(v2), T(v3)} is linearly dependent.
I have proved it closed under addition and scalar multiplication, but am not sure if this is correct? Should I be looking at the trivial solution?
Thank you!
