## Answers to Questions

### How to calculate the matrix power n?

Consider $$M$$ a square matrix of $$m$$ lines and $$m$$ columns. The calculation of the nth power of the matrix M is denoted by $$M^n$$ and consists of multiplying the matrix n times by itself.

$$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix} ^2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 7 & 10 \\ 15 & 22 \end{pmatrix}$$

The size of the resulting matrix is identical to the original matrix M; i.e. $$m$$ lines and $$m$$ columns.

Calculating matrix power only works for square matrices.

### How to compute a negative power of a matrix?

Calculating \ (M^{-n} \) is equivalent to $$M^{-1 \times n}$$. Thus, you can calculate the inverse of the matrix and then perform with it an exponentiation to the power n.
