    If \[X=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\], and I is a \[2\times 2\] identity matrix, then \[{{X}^{2}}-2X+3I\] equals to which one of the following?

    A) -I

    B) -2X

    C) 2X

    D) 4X

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Given matrix is: \[X=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\therefore {{X}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2-6  \\    0 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -8  \\    0 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] So, the given expression is: \[{{X}^{4}}-2X+3I=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -8  \\    0 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right]-2\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]+3\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -8  \\    0 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right]+\left[ \begin{matrix}    -2 & +4  \\    0 & -6  \\ \end{matrix} \right]+\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & 0  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1-2+3 & -8+4  \\    0 & 9-6+3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    2 & -4  \\    0 & 6  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=2\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=2X\]
