MCQ
If a matrix $A$ is such that $4{A^3} + 2{A^2} + 7A + I = O$, then ${A^{ - 1}}$ equals
  • A
    $(4{A^2} + 2A + 7I)$
  • $ - (4{A^2} + 2A + 7I)$
  • C
    $ - (4{A^2} - 2A + 7I)$
  • D
    $(4{A^2} + 2A - 7I)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$ - (4{A^2} + 2A + 7I)$
b
(b) Given $4{A^3} + 2{A^2} + 7A + I = O$
Pre-multiply with ${A^{ - 1}}$
==> ${A^{ - 1}}[4{A^3} + 2{A^2} + 7A + I] = O$
==> $4I{A^2} + 2IA + 7I + {A^{ - 1}}I = O.{A^{ - 1}}$
==> $I(4{A^2} + 2A + 7) + {A^{ - 1}}I = O$
==> ${A^{ - 1}} = - (4{A^2} + 2A + 7I)$.
