If A= -1&0&0 0&-1&0 0&0&-1 , find A^2. - Vidyadip

Question

If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}-1&0&0\\0&-1&0\\0&0&-1\end{bmatrix},$ find $A^2$.

✓

Answer

Here,
$\text{A}^2=\text{AA}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}-1&0&0\\0&-1&0\\0&0&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-1&0&0\\0&-1&0\\0&0&-1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+1+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}$
