Let A=[α–16β], α>0, such that det(A) = 0 and α+β=1. If I denotes 2×2 identity matrix, then the matrix (I+A)8 is: [2025]
(4)
We have, A=[α–16β], |A|=0
⇒ αβ+6=0 ⇒ αβ=–6
Also, α+β=1 [Given]
⇒ α=3 and β=–2 (∵ α>0)
Now, A=[3–16–2] ⇒ A2=[3–16–2][3–16–2]=[3–16–2]
⇒ A2=A
So, A=A2=A3=A4=A5=A6=A7
∴ (I+A)8=I+C18A7+C28A6+...+C88A8
=I+A(C18+C28+...+C88)=I+A(28–1)
=[1001]+[765–2551530–510]=[766–2551530–509].
