If A= 1&0&0 0&1&0 &b&-1 , then A^2 is equal to: - Vidyadip

MCQ

If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\\text{a}&\text{b}&-1\end{bmatrix},$ then $A^2$ is equal to:

A
$A$ null matrix
✓
$A$ unit matrix
C
$-A$
D
$A$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$A$ unit matrix

$\text{A}^2=\text{AA}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\\text{a}&\text{b}&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\\text{a}&\text{b}&-1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1+0+0&0+0+0&0+0-0\\0+0+0&0+1+0&0+0-0\\\text{a}+0-\text{a}&0+\text{b}-\text{b}&0+0+1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}$
