There are basically two different ways how to show what you have learned. If you are doing this part of an assignment, it should be in the description of the assignment which way you have to use.

1) Probably the easier and less time consuming way. Just make sure, that you understand the steps in a solution, it doesn't matter if it is your own solution, or the example solution which is given. The lecturer who gave you this assignment will ask some of you to show different steps in front of the class in a certain lecture.

2) However, if this assignment was given in a situation where there are no face to face lectures, this way has to be chosen. You either should represent all the calculations which are not shown in the example solution in an electronic way. If you prefer, you can also represent your own complete solution in an electronic way. Here are three examples how you can represent the mathematical instructions on a computer.

• write it on paper and scan it on your computer
• use a graphics program and draw the symbols
• use LaTeX. This is the most advanced method, only try this if you know what LaTeX is. However, even in LaTeX there is no standard way to represent changes on a matrix. If you are really keen you can find a description how to do this on Martin Röhricht's homepage (german).
