Question
If $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}-2 & 4 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right]$, then $A^2$ is

Answer

(a) : Given that, $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}-2 & 4 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right]$
$\therefore \quad A^2=\left[\begin{array}{ll}-2 & 4 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll}-2 & 4 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0\end{array}\right]$
$\Rightarrow A^2$ is a null matrix.
