Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix},\text{B}\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&-1\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix},$ then show that $A^2 = B^2 = C^2 = l_2$.

Answer

Here,
$\text{A}^2=\text{AA}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1+0&0+0\\0+0&0+1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(1)$
$\text{B}^2=\text{BB}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&-1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1+0&0-0\\0-0&0+1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(2)$
$\text{C}^2=\text{CC}$
$\Rightarrow\text{C}^2=\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{C}^2=\begin{bmatrix}0+1&0+0\\0+0&1+0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{C}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(3)$
We know,
$\text{I}_2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(4)$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\text{B}^2=\text{C}^2=\text{I}^2$ [From eqs. (1), (2), (3) and (4)]
