Also do:
For an \( (n \times n) \) matrix \( A \) the exponential of \(A\)
is defined as \(e^A = \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} \frac{A^k}{k!}\).
If \(D = \begin{bmatrix} d_1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ 0 & d_2 & 0 & \cdots \\ \vdots & 0 & \ddots & 0 \\ 0 & \cdots & 0 & d_n \end{bmatrix} \), then
\(e^D = \begin{bmatrix} e^{d_1} & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ 0 & e^{d_2} & 0 & \cdots \\ \vdots & 0 & \ddots & 0 \\ 0 & \cdots & 0 & e^{d_n} \end{bmatrix} \).
Let \(A\) be a diagonalizable matrix, that is, \(A= SDS^{-1} \)
where \(D\) is a diagonal matrix; then \(e^A = S e^D S^{-1} \).
Compute \(e^A \) for problems 5 and 7 of 4.7.
