Mathematics Question on Matrices
if A[1 221]and f(x)=(1+x)(1−x), then f(A) is
A
−4[1 111]
B
−8[1 111]
C
4[1 111]
D
None of these
Answer
−4[1 111]
Explanation
Solution
Given, f[x)=(1+x)(1−x)=1−x2 ⇒f(A)=I−A2(∵ Put x=A) \Rightarrow f\left(A\right) = \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\\ 0&1\end{bmatrix}-\left\\{\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\\ 2&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\\ 2&1\end{bmatrix}\right\\} =[1 001]−[5 445]=[−4 −4−4−4] =−4[1 111]
