(i) Prove by induction that, for \(n \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}\), \[\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 5 \end{pmatrix}^n = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ -\frac{1}{4}(5^n - 1) & 5^n \end{pmatrix}\] (6)
(ii) Prove by induction that, for \(n \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}\), \[\sum_{r=1}^{n} (2r - 1)^2 = \frac{1}{3}n(4n^2 - 1)\] (6)
