Theorem. Let \(A\) be invertible. Then the solution to \(A {\bf x}= {\bf b} \) is given by \( {\bf x}=A^{-1} {\bf b}\).
\( \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 &1 \end{bmatrix}^{2020}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2020 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \) \(\qquad\qquad\qquad \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2&0 \\ 0 & -1&0\\ 0& 0&1 \end{bmatrix}^{2019}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2&0 \\ 0 & -1&0\\ 0 &0 &1\end{bmatrix} \)
Exponential of a matrix
\(e^A=X e^\Lambda X^{-1}\):
\begin{align*}
e^{\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 &0 \end{bmatrix}}=\begin{bmatrix} \cosh t & \sinh t \\ \sinh t &\cosh t\end{bmatrix}
\qquad\qquad \quad e^{tr(A)}=det(A)
\end{align*}
