LetAbe a2×2real matrix andIbe the identity matrix of order2.If the roots of the equation|A-xI|=0be-1and3,then the sum of the diagonal elements of the matrixA2is _____.

Answer:
10.00
Solution:

Given: |A-xI|=0 have roots -1 and 3.

Let, A=abcd

A-xI=abcd-x00x

A-xI=a-xbcd-x

A-xI=a-xd-x-bc

A-xI=ad-ax-dx+x2-bc

A-xI=x2-a+dx+ad-bc

Sum of roots, a+d=2

Product of roots, ad-bc=-3

Now finding matrix A2,

A2=abcd×abcd

A2=a2+bcab+bdac+cdbc+d2

Sum of diagonal elements, S=a2+bc+bc+d2

S=a2+2bc+d2

S=(a+d)2-2ad-bc

S=(2)2-2-3

S=4+6

S=10
