TopicInvariant lines and eigenvalues and vectors

12 The matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) is given by $$\mathbf { A } = \left[ \begin{array} { l l } 1 & 2
0 & 3 \end{array} \right]$$ 12
  1. Prove by induction that, for all integers \(n \geq 1\), $$\mathbf { A } ^ { n } = \left[ \begin{array} { c c } 1 & 3 ^ { n } - 1
    0 & 3 ^ { n } \end{array} \right]$$ 12
  2. Find all invariant lines under the transformation matrix \(A\). Fully justify your answer.
