Answer

$v_∞=[\frac{2}{3}~~\frac{1}{3}]$

Work Step by Step

$v_∞=[x~~y]$ It must satisfy: $v_∞P=v_∞$ $[x~~y]\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ 1 & 0 \\ \end{bmatrix} =[x~~y]$ It gives us two equations: $\frac{1}{2}x+y=x$ $y=\frac{1}{2}x$ and $\frac{1}{2}x+0y=y~~$ (But, it is the same equation) Also: $x+y=1$ $x+\frac{1}{2}x=1$ $\frac{3}{2}x=1$ $x=\frac{2}{3}$ $y=\frac{1}{2}x$ $y=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$ Finally: $v_∞=[\frac{2}{3}~~\frac{1}{3}]$
