Determinants Matrices Question 109

Question: If A is a square matrix such that $ (A-2I)(A+I)=O $ then $ {A^{-1}}= $

Options:

A) $ \frac{A-I}{2} $

B) $ \frac{A+I}{2} $

C) $ 2(A-I) $

D) $ 2A+I $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a] $ (A-2I)(A+I)=0\Rightarrow AA-A-2I=0 $
    $ \Rightarrow A( \frac{A-I}{2} )=I\therefore \frac{A-I}{2}={A^{-1}} $
