Let \( A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha & -1 \\ 6 & \beta \end{bmatrix} , \ \alpha > 0 \), such that \( \det(A) = 0 \) and \( \alpha + \beta = 1. \) If \( I \) denotes the \( 2 \times 2 \) identity matrix, then the matrix \( (I + A)^8 \) is:
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
