Class 12 Maths · Matrices · Short Answer #58

For A=\(\begin{bmatrix}3 & 1\\-1 & 2\end{bmatrix}\), find k such that A²=5A+kI.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: k=−7
  1. Multiplication gives A²=[[8,5],[−5,3]], while 5A=[[15,5],[−5,10]].
  2. Subtract to get A²−5A=[[-7,0],[0,−7]]=−7I.
  3. Therefore k=−7.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Multiplication gives A²=[[8,5],[−5,3]], while 5A=[[15,5],[−5,10]].
  • [1 mark] Subtract to get A²−5A=[[-7,0],[0,−7]]=−7I.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore k=−7.
