MCQ
If a matrix A is such that $3A^3 + 2A^2 + 5A + I = 0,$ then $A^{-1}$ equal to:
  • A
    $-(3A^2 + 2A + 5)$
  • B
    $3A^2 + 2A + 5$
  • C
    $3A^2 - 2A - 5$
  • None of these.

Answer

Correct option: D.
None of these.

$3A^3 + 2A^2 + 5A + I = 0$
$\Rightarrow 3A^{-1} A^3 + 2A^{-1}A^2 + 5A^{-1}A + A^{-1 }I = A^{-1}0$
$\Rightarrow 3A^2 + 2A + 5I + A^{-1} = 0$
$\Rightarrow A^{-1} = -(3A^2 + 2A + 5I)$
