Question: For the matrix show that A 2 4A 5I = 0 and hence that A 1 = 1/5 (A 4I). Calculate A

For the matrix

[1 2 2] A = 2 1 2 2 2 1

show that A2 – 4A – 5I = 0 and hence that A–1 = 1/5 (A – 4I). Calculate A–1 from this result. Further show that the inverse of A2 is given by 1/25 (21I – 4A) and evaluate.
