Answer only one of the following two alternatives.

EITHER
Let \(I_{n}=\int_{0}^{1}\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{n} \mathrm{~d} x\). Show that, for all integers \(n\),
\((2 n+1) I_{n}=2 n I_{n-1}+2^{n} .\)

Evaluate \(I_{0}\) and hence find \(I_{3}\).

Given that \(I_{-1}=\frac{1}{4} \pi\), find \(I_{-3}\).

OR

The vector \(\mathbf{e}\) is an eigenvector of each of the \(3 \times 3\) matrices \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\), with corresponding eigenvalues \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) respectively. Justifying your answer, state an eigenvalue of \(\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{B}\).

The matrix \(\mathbf{A}\), where
\(\mathbf{A}=\left(\begin{array}{rrr} 6 & -1 & -6 \\ 1 & 0 & -2 \\ 3 & -1 & -3 \end{array}\right),\)
has eigenvectors \(\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 1 \\ 1\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{r}1 \\ -1 \\ 1\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{l}2 \\ 0 \\ 1\end{array}\right)\). Find the corresponding eigenvalues.

The matrix \(\mathbf{B}\), where
\(\mathbf{B}=\left(\begin{array}{rrr} 8 & -2 & -8 \\ 2 & 0 & -4 \\ 4 & -2 & -4 \end{array}\right),\)
also has eigenvectors \(\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 1 \\ 1\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{r}1 \\ -1 \\ 1\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{l}2 \\ 0 \\ 1\end{array}\right)\), for which \(-2,2,4\), respectively, are corresponding eigenvalues. The matrix \(\mathbf{M}\) is given by \(\mathbf{M}=\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{B}-5 \mathbf{I}\), where \(\mathbf{I}\) is the \(3 \times 3\) identity matrix. State the eigenvalues of \(\mathbf{M}\).

Find matrices \(\mathbf{R}\) and \(\mathbf{S}\) and a diagonal matrix \(\mathbf{D}\) such that \(\mathbf{M}^{5}=\mathbf{R D S}\).
[You should show clearly all the elements of the matrices \(\mathbf{R}, \mathbf{S}\) and \(\mathbf{D}\).]
