Answer

$v_∞=[\frac{1}{5}~~\frac{4}{5}]$

Work Step by Step

$v_∞=[x~~y]$ It must satisfy: $v_∞P=v_∞$ $[x~~y]\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} \\ \end{bmatrix} =[x~~y]$ It gives us two equations: $0x+\frac{1}{4}y=x$ $y=4x$ and $x+\frac{3}{4}y=y~~$ $x=\frac{1}{4}y~~$ (But, it is the same equation) Also: $x+y=1$ $x+4x=1$ $5x=1$ $x=\frac{1}{5}$ $y=4x$ $y=4\times\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$ Finally: $v_∞=[\frac{1}{5}~~\frac{4}{5}]$
