Let A and B be two matrices different from identify matrix such that AB=BA and A^(n)-B^(n) is invertible for some positive integer 'n'. IfA^(n)-B^(n)=A^(n+1)-B^(n+1)=A^(n+2)-B^(n+2), then |

Answer» I-A is non singular `impliesA^(n)-B^(n)=(A+B)(A^(n)-B^(n))-AB(A^(n)-B^(n))` `impliesI=A+B-AB""[becauseA^(n)-B^(n)"is invertible"]` `implies(I-A)(I-B)=0` As A, `B ne l`, we GET I-A and I-B are singular matrices. |
