    some help with locus please....

    gradient of tangent at P is p and that at Q is q, so the gradients of the normals are -1/p and -1/q so the equations of the normals are (x - 2p)(-1/p) = (y - p^2) (x - 2q)(-1/q) = (y - q^2) Then you simplify a little x - 2p = p^3 - py x - 2q = q^3 - qy and if you scale them, qx - 2pq = qp^3...

    Matrices question

    1 0 0 0 also works.. The methodical way to do this is to consider the jordan decompostion of A. First, the eigenvalue(s) of A can be nothing else but 1 and 0. so the jordan canoncial form J of A must be one of 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 but the last 2 don't work. (since...
