These two assignments are worth extra points. The problems cover repeated eigenvalues in Section 7.8. These are optional. While 7.8 is not on the Final Exam, these problems require you to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors, so the exercises will help you prepare for the Final.

1. Do book problems from Section 7.8: 1, 2, 3. Due at the Final Exam. I will add up to 18 points to your written homework score for the semester.

2. Do the WeBWorK for Section 7.8. Due at the Final Exam. I will add up to 16 points to your online homework score for the semester.

Also, don’t forget about the Library’s archive of past final exams. I won’t give any extra credit for completing these, but they will be useful guides to study for our final exam.
