Find the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of the following matrix: A = [[6, -3], [4, -1]]. Hence represent the matrix in diagonal form.
The first eigenvalue is 3, whose corresponding eigenvector is (1, 1), and the second eigenvalue is 2, whose corresponding eigenvector is (3, 4). In diagonal form, A = PDP^-1, where P = [[1, 3], [1, 4]] and D = [[3, 0], [0, 2]].

Particles P and Q move in a plane with constant velocities. At time t = 0 the position vectors of P and Q, relative to a fixed point O in the plane, are (16i - 12j) m and -5i + 4j) m respectively. The velocity of P is (i + 2j) m/s and the velocity of Q
