Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\1&1\end{bmatrix}$ satisfies $\text{A}^4=\lambda\text{A},$ then write the value of $\lambda.$

Answer

$\text{A}^2=\text{A}\cdot\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\1&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1+1&1+1\\1+1&1+1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}2&2\\2&2\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\text{A}^4=\text{A}^2\cdot\text{A}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^4=\begin{bmatrix}2&2\\2&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&2\\2&2\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^4=\begin{bmatrix}4+4&4+4\\4+4&4+4\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^4=\begin{bmatrix}8&8\\8&8\end{bmatrix}$
Also,
$\text{A}^4=\lambda\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}8&8\\8&8\end{bmatrix}=\lambda\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\1&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}8&8\\8&8\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\lambda&\lambda\\\lambda&\lambda\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \lambda=8$
