Mathematics Question on Matrices
If A=[1 101] and A8=aA+bI, then (a,b)=
A
(8,7)
B
(−7,8)
C
(8,−7)
D
(−8,−7)
Answer
(8,−7)
Explanation
Solution
We have, A=[1 101]
A2=A.A=[1 101][1 101]=[1\201]
A3=A2.A=[1\201][1 101]=[1 301]
Similarly , A8=[1\801]
Now, A8=aA+bI
⇒[1 801]=a[1 101]+b[1 001]
⇒[1 801]=[a+b a0a+b]
∴a=8 and a+b=1⇒b=1−8=−7
