Question
Let $\beta$ be a real number. Consider the matrix $A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}\beta & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & -2 \\ 3 & 1 & -2\end{array}\right)$
If $A^7-(\beta-1) A^6-\beta A^5$ is a singular matrix, then the value of $9 \beta$ is

Answer

$A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}\beta & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & -2 \\ 3 & 1 & -2\end{array}\right)|A|=-1$
$\Rightarrow\left|A^7-(\beta-1) A^6-\beta A^5\right|=0$
$\Rightarrow|A|^5\left|A^2-(\beta-1) A-\beta I\right|=0$
$\Rightarrow|A|^5\left|\left(A^2-\beta A\right)+A-\beta I\right|=0$
$\Rightarrow|A|^5|A(A-\beta I)+I(A-\beta I)|=0$
$|A|^5|(A+I)(A-\beta I)|=0$
$A+I=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}\beta+1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 2 & -2 \\ 3 & 1 & -1\end{array}\right) $
$\Rightarrow|A+I|=-4,$
Here $|A| \neq 0 |A+I| \neq 0 $
$A-\beta I=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1-\beta & -2 \\ 3 & 1 & -2-\beta\end{array}\right)$
$|A-\beta I|=2-3(1-\beta)=3 \beta-1=0 $
$\Rightarrow \beta=\frac{1}{3}$
$9 \beta=3$
