If \( A \) is a non-singular matrix and \[ (5 A )^{-1}=\frac{1}{\left(n^{2}-n-7\right)} A ^{-1} \text {, } \] then the sum of all possible values of \( n \) is

Answer»

A is non singular matrix

∴ |A| \(\ne\) 0 and A-1 will exist.

Given that 

\((5A)^{-1} = \frac{1}{n^2 - n - 7}A^{-1}\)

⇒ \(\frac{A^{-1}}{5} = \frac{A^{-1}}{n^2 - n - 7} \)       \(\left(\because (kA)^{-1} = \frac{A^{-1}}{k}\right) \)

⇒ \(n^2 - n - 7 = 5\)

⇒ \(n^2 - n-12 = 0\)

∴ Sum of all possible vowels of \(n=\frac{-b}a= \frac{-(-1)}{1}= 1\).
