Class 12 Maths · Matrices · Long Answer #68

For A=\(\begin{bmatrix}2 & 3\\-1 & 2\end{bmatrix}\), prove A²−4A+7I=O. Use the result to calculate A⁵.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(\begin{bmatrix}-118 & -93\\31 & -118\end{bmatrix}\)
  1. Compute A²=[[1,12],[−4,1]]. This equals 4A−7I, proving the stated identity.
  2. Multiply successively and reduce powers: A³=4A²−7A=9A−28I, then A⁴=9A²−28A=8A−63I.
  3. Therefore A⁵=8A²−63A=8(4A−7I)−63A=−31A−56I.
  4. Substitution gives A⁵=\(\begin{bmatrix}-118 & -93\\31 & -118\end{bmatrix}\).

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Compute A²=[[1,12],[−4,1]]. This equals 4A−7I, proving the stated identity.
  • [1 mark] Multiply successively and reduce powers: A³=4A²−7A=9A−28I, then A⁴=9A²−28A=8A−63I.
  • [1 mark] Therefore A⁵=8A²−63A=8(4A−7I)−63A=−31A−56I.
  • [0.5 marks] Substitution gives A⁵=\(\begin{bmatrix}-118 & -93\\31 & -118\end{bmatrix}\).
