If A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] and I is the identity matrix of order 2, then A² − 5A is equal to:
If A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] and I is the identity matrix of order 2, then A² − 5A is equal to:
- A. 2I
- B. −2I
- C. I
- D. Zero matrix
Answer: A) 2I
Explanation: A² = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] × [[1, 2], [3, 4]] = [[7, 10], [15, 22]]. 5A = [[5, 10], [15, 20]]. A² − 5A = [[2, 0], [0, 2]] = 2I.
