If `A=|{:(1,2,2),(2,1,2),(2,2,1):}|`, then show that `A^(2)-4A-5I_(3)=0`. Hemce find `A^(-1)`.

Answer» We leave it to the reader to show that `A^(2)-4A-5I=O`.
`Now, A^(2)-4A-5I=O`
`rArr" "A A-4A=5I`
`rArr" "(A A).A^(-1)-4A.A^(-1)=5I.A^(-1)`
`rArr" "A(A A^(-1))-4I=5A^(-1)`
`rArr" "AI-4I=5A^(-1)`
`A-4I=5A^(-1)`
`rArr" "A^(-1)=1/5(A-4I)`.
`:." "A^(-1)=1/5.{[(1,2,2),(2,1,2),(2,2,1)]-4.[(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)]}`
`=1/5.{[(1,2,2),(2,1,2),(2,2,1)]-[(4,0,0),(0,4,0),(0,0,4)]}`
`=1/5.[(-3,2,2),(2,-3,2),(2,2,-3)]`.
