If A satisfies the equation $x^3 -5x^2+4x+λ=0$, then $A^{-1}$ exists if
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Since A satisfies the equation
$x^3-5x^2+4x+λ=0$
$⇒A^3 -5A^2 + 4A + λI=0$
$⇒A (-A^2+5A-4 I) = λI$
$⇒A\left\{\frac{1}{λ}(-A^2+5A-4 I)\right\}=I$, if $λ≠0$
Hence, $A^{-1}$ exists and is equal to $\frac{1}{λ}(-A^2+5A-4 I)$ if $λ≠0$.
