Class 12 Maths · Matrices · Long Answer #99

For A=\(\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 2\\0 & 2 & 1\\2 & 0 & 3\end{bmatrix}\), prove A³−6A²+7A+2I=O.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: A³−6A²+7A+2I=O
  1. Compute A²=\(\begin{bmatrix}5 & 0 & 8\\2 & 4 & 5\\8 & 0 & 13\end{bmatrix}\).
  2. Multiply again to obtain A³=\(\begin{bmatrix}21 & 0 & 34\\12 & 8 & 23\\34 & 0 & 55\end{bmatrix}\).
  3. Combine the four terms entrywise: A³−6A²+7A+2I=\(\begin{bmatrix}0 & 0 & 0\\0 & 0 & 0\\0 & 0 & 0\end{bmatrix}\).
  4. The result is the zero 3×3 matrix, proving the identity.
