Class 12 Maths · Matrices · Long Answer #98

For A=\(\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2\\3 & 4\end{bmatrix}\), evaluate f(A) if f(x)=2x²−3x+5.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(\begin{bmatrix}16 & 14\\21 & 37\end{bmatrix}\)
  1. The constant term becomes 5I₂, so f(A)=2A²−3A+5I₂.
  2. Compute A²=[[7,10],[15,22]], hence 2A²=[[14,20],[30,44]].
  3. Subtract 3A=[[3,6],[9,12]] and add 5I₂=[[5,0],[0,5]] entry by entry.
  4. Therefore f(A)=\(\begin{bmatrix}16 & 14\\21 & 37\end{bmatrix}\).

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] The constant term becomes 5I₂, so f(A)=2A²−3A+5I₂.
  • [1 mark] Compute A²=[[7,10],[15,22]], hence 2A²=[[14,20],[30,44]].
  • [1 mark] Subtract 3A=[[3,6],[9,12]] and add 5I₂=[[5,0],[0,5]] entry by entry.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore f(A)=\(\begin{bmatrix}16 & 14\\21 & 37\end{bmatrix}\).
