Calculate the magnitude of a 3-dimensional vector, where $\mathbf v$ is written in the form $\pmatrix{v_1\\v_2\\v_3}$.

$A,\;B$ $2 \times 2$ matrices. Find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of both. Hence or otherwise, find $B^n$ for largish $n$.

Given a 3 x 3 matrix, and two eigenvectors find their corresponding eigenvalues. Also fnd the characteristic polynomial and using this find the third eigenvalue and a normalised eigenvector $(x=1)$.

Example of an explore mode question. Student is given a 3x3 matrix and is asked to find the characteristic polynomial and eigenvalues, and then eigenvectors for each eigenvalue. The part asking for eigenvectors can be repeated as often as the student wants, to be used for different eigenvalues.

Assessed: calculating characteristic polynomial and eigenvectors.

Feature: any correct eigenvalue will be recognised by the marking algorithm, even multiples of the obvious one(s) (which can be read off from the reduced row echelon form)

Randomisation: Not randomised, just using particular matrices. I am still working on how to randomise this for 3x3; a randomised 2x2 version exists. I have several different versions for 3x3 (not all published yet), so I could make a random choice between these in a test.

The implementation uses linear algebra functions such as "find reduced echelon form" or "find kernel of a reduced echelon form", from the extension "linalg2".

Given $5$ vectors in $\mathbb{R^4}$ determine if a spanning set for $\mathbb{R^4}$ or not by looking for any simple dependencies between the vectors.

Real numbers $a,\;b,\;c$ and $d$ are such that $a+b+c+d=1$ and for the given vectors $\textbf{v}_1,\;\textbf{v}_2,\;\textbf{v}_3,\;\textbf{v}_4$ $a\textbf{v}_1+b\textbf{v}_2+c\textbf{v}_3+d\textbf{v}_4=\textbf{0}$. Find $a,\;b,\;c,\;d$.

These questions deal with vector operations and its application in geology.
