What This Question Tests

This problem tests the calculation of matrix powers, scalar multiplication, and the adjoint of a 2x2 matrix, requiring careful matrix algebra.

Concepts Tested

Matrix multiplicationAdjoint of a matrixScalar multiplication of matrix

Formulas Used

A² = A * A

Adj(A) = (Cofactor matrix)^T

Adj(kA) = k^(n-1) Adj(A) for n x n matrix

For 2x2 matrix: A = [[a,b],[c,d]], Adj(A) = [[d,-b],[-c,a]]
