Here is a link to the actual assignment, in case you don't have it handy:

You need to study Lesson 6 (Determinants and Their Properties), Lesson 7 (Adjoint Matrices), Lesson 8 (Cramer's Rule), and Lesson 9 (Markov Analysis) from my Matrices for Management book to prepare for this assignment.

Don't have my book?  You can download a free sample of my book and audio lectures containing Lessons 1 and  2:

A good runthrough of Determinant Properties as taught in Lesson 6 of my book.  Also make sure you have done the Adjoint lesson (Lesson 7) before you do this question.  Question 2 in Lesson 6 and Question 3 in Lesson 7 are especially helpful.

A Markov problem as taught in Lesson 9.  Please note:  Don't bother trying to remember the tricks and shortcuts I teach in this lesson.  I got carried away.  When finding the steady-state or stable vector, please do set up the augmented matrix in the form and please do add an additional row of 1's at the top of the matrix.  Do follow my advice about getting rid of the fractions or decimals before you begin row-reducing.  However, ignore my suggestions about 0 rows or using Cramer's Rule.  Just row-reduce the matrix just like you have always done since Lesson 2, and things will work out fine.

Very similar to my Lesson 6, question 5.
