${[\begin{array}{c} 0.97 & 0.06 \\ 0.03 & 0.9 \end{array}]}^{10} [\begin{array}{c} 0.65 \\ 0.35 \end{array}]$

Step 1

Multiply each row in the first matrix by each column in the second matrix.

$[\begin{array}{c} 0.97 \cdot 0.65 + 0.06 \cdot 0.35 \\ 0.03 \cdot 0.65 + 0.9 \cdot 0.35 \end{array}] {[\begin{array}{c} 0.97 & 0.06 \\ 0.03 & 0.9 \end{array}]}^{10} [\begin{array}{c} 0.65 \\ 0.35 \end{array}]$

Step 2

Simplify each element of the matrix by multiplying out all the expressions.

$[\begin{array}{c} 0.6515 \\ 0.3345 \end{array}] {[\begin{array}{c} 0.97 & 0.06 \\ 0.03 & 0.9 \end{array}]}^{10} [\begin{array}{c} 0.65 \\ 0.35 \end{array}]$

Step 3

Matrices can only be multiplied if the number of columns in the first matrix is equal to the number of rows in the second matrix. The matrices cannot be multiplied.

$[\begin{array}{c} 0.6515 \\ 0.3345 \end{array}] {[\begin{array}{c} 0.97 & 0.06 \\ 0.03 & 0.9 \end{array}]}^{10} {[\begin{array}{c} 0.65 \\ 0.35 \end{array}]}^{10} [\begin{array}{c} 0.65 \\ 0.35 \end{array}]$

Step 4

Set up the determinant by breaking it into smaller components.
