Question:

A is any matrix satisfying the property\( { A }^{ 2 } = I\), then the value of the expression \( { A }^{ 3 } + { \left(A+I\right) }^{ 2 } -8A - { I }^{ 2 } - { A }^{ 2 } \) is

Options:

3A

-5A

6A

-6A

Correct Answer:

-5A

Explanation:

Given,

\(A^2 = I\)

The given equation is

\(A^3 + (A + I)^2 - 8A - I^2 - A^2\)

\(= A^2.A + A^2 + I^2 + 2IA - 8A - I^2 - A^2\)

\(= IA + I + I^2 +2IA - 8A - I^2 - I\)

\(= 3IA - 8A\)

\(= 3A - 8A = -5A\)
