If A = [[0, 2], [0, 0]], then A² is equal to:
If A = [[0, 2], [0, 0]], then A² is equal to:
- A. [[0, 4], [0, 0]]
- B. [[0, 0], [0, 0]]
- C. [[0, 2], [0, 0]]
- D. [[2, 0], [0, 0]]
Answer: B) [[0, 0], [0, 0]]
Explanation: A × A = [[0×0 + 2×0, 0×2 + 2×0], [0×0 + 0×0, 0×2 + 0×0]] = [[0, 0], [0, 0]]. This makes A a nilpotent matrix of index 2.
