Chapter 2: Q5SE (page 93)
Suppose an \(n \times n\) matrix A satisfies the equation \({A^{\bf{2}}} - {\bf{2}}A + I = {\bf{0}}\). Show that \({A^{\bf{3}}} = {\bf{3}}A - 2I\) and \({A^{\bf{4}}} = {\bf{4}}A - {\bf{3}}I\).
The equations \({A^3} = 3A - 2I\), and \({A^4} = 4A - 3I\) are proved.

In Exercise 9 mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
9. a. In order for a matrix B to be the inverse of A, both equations \(AB = I\) and \(BA = I\) must be true.
b. If A and B are \(n \times n\) and invertible, then \({A^{ - {\bf{1}}}}{B^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\) is the inverse of \(AB\).
c. If \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}a&b\\c&d\end{aligned}} \right)\) and \(ab - cd \ne {\bf{0}}\), then A is invertible.
d. If A is an invertible \(n \times n\) matrix, then the equation \(Ax = b\) is consistent for each b in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{n}}}\).
e. Each elementary matrix is invertible.
In exercise 5 and 6, compute the product \(AB\) in two ways: (a) by the definition, where \(A{b_{\bf{1}}}\) and \(A{b_{\bf{2}}}\) are computed separately, and (b) by the row-column rule for computing \(AB\).
\(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{4}}&{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{ - {\bf{3}}}&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{3}}&{\bf{5}}\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(B = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}&{\bf{3}}\\{\bf{2}}&{ - {\bf{1}}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)
In Exercises 1鈥�9, assume that the matrices are partitioned conformably for block multiplication. Compute the products shown in Exercises 1鈥�4.
2. \[\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}E&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&F\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}A&B\\C&D\end{array}} \right]\]
Describe in words what happens when you compute \({A^{\bf{5}}}\), \({A^{{\bf{10}}}}\), \({A^{{\bf{20}}}}\), and \({A^{{\bf{30}}}}\) for \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{1/6}&{1/2}&{1/3}\\{1/2}&{1/4}&{1/4}\\{1/3}&{1/4}&{5/12}\end{aligned}} \right)\).
Let \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}&{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{5}}&{{\bf{12}}}\end{aligned}} \right),{b_{\bf{1}}} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{1}}}\\{\bf{3}}\end{aligned}} \right),{b_{\bf{2}}} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{5}}}\end{aligned}} \right),{b_{\bf{3}}} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{6}}\end{aligned}} \right),\) and \({b_{\bf{4}}} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}\\{\bf{5}}\end{aligned}} \right)\).
