  • $-4 \begin{bmatrix}1&1\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}$
  • $-8 \begin{bmatrix}1&1\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}$
  • $4 \begin{bmatrix}1&1\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}$
  • None of these

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given, $f[x) = (1 + x) (1 - x) = 1 - x^2$ $\Rightarrow f(A) = I - A^2 (\because$ Put $x = A$) $\Rightarrow f\left(A\right) = \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\ 0&1\end{bmatrix}-\left\{\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\ 2&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\ 2&1\end{bmatrix}\right\}$ $=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\ 0&1\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}5&4\\ 4&5\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-4&-4\\ -4&-4\end{bmatrix}$ $ = -4 \begin{bmatrix}1&1\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}$

Concepts Used:

Matrices

Matrix:

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.

The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:

  1. Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
  2. Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
  3. Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication. 
  4. Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal. 
  5. Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
