Q85.Let I be an identity matrix of order 2 × 2 and P = [25 −1−3 ] P n = 5I −8P is equal to ___ .

What This Question Tests

The problem asks for a relation involving P^n and requires finding the characteristic equation of the matrix P using the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem. This allows expressing higher powers of P in terms of P and I, simplifying the calculation.

Concepts Tested

Matrix operationsCayley-Hamilton TheoremCharacteristic equation of a matrix

Formulas Used

P^2 - (Tr(P))P + det(P)I = 0

P^n = aP + bI (for 2x2 matrix)
