If A =
find A2 – 5A + 4I and hence find a matrix X such that A2 – 5A + 4I + X = 0.
OR
If A =
, find (A’)-1
As, A = 
∴ A2 = 
Using matrix multiplication method we can write it as-
A2 = 
⇒ A2 = 
∴ A2 – 5A + 4I = 
⇒ A2 – 5A + 4I = 
⇒ A2 – 5A + 4I = 
⇒ A2 – 5A + 4I = 
Now we need to find X such that -
A2 – 5A + 4I + X = 0
⇒ 
∴ X = 
⇒ X = 
OR
As we know that transpose of a matrix is given by interchanging rows with respective columns.
∴ A’ = AT = 
Inverse of any matrix(say B) is given by:
B-1 = ![]()
Assume, B = 
Determinant of B = |B| = 
Expanding about first row-
|B| = 1(-1-8)-0(-2-6)-2(-8+3)
⇒ |B| = -9+10 = 1
Adjoint of a matrix is given by the transpose of cofactor matrix.
Co-factor matrix of B = 
∴ adj(B) = 
∴ (A’)-1 = 
Hence,
(A’)-1 =
