Let \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) be real numbers. Consider a \(3 \times 3\) matrix \(A\) such that \(A ^2=3 A +\alpha I\). If \(A ^4=21 A +\beta I\), then

  1. A \(\alpha=1\)
  2. B \(\alpha=4\)
  3. C \(\beta=8\)
  4. D \(\beta=-8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\beta=-8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A ^2=3 A +\alpha I\) \(A ^3=3 A ^2+\alpha A\) \(A ^3=3(3 A +\alpha I )+\alpha A\) \(A ^3=9 A +\alpha A +3 \alpha I\) \(A ^4=(9+\alpha) A ^2+3 \alpha A\) \(=(9+\alpha)(3 A +\alpha I )+3 \alpha A\) \(= A (27+6 \alpha)+\alpha(9+\alpha)\)…
