Let
\(A = \begin{pmatrix} 1+i & 1 \\ -i & 0 \end{pmatrix}\) where \(i=\sqrt{−1}.\)
Then, the number of elements in the set
\(\left\{n∈\left\{1,2,…,100\right\}:A^n=A\right\}\)
is ________.
The correct answer is 25
\(\therefore A^2 = \begin{bmatrix} 1+i & 1 \\ -i & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1+i & 1 \\ -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} i & 1+i \\ 1-i & -i \end{bmatrix}\)
\(A^4 = \begin{bmatrix} i & 1+i \\ 1-i & -i \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} i & 1+i \\ 1-i & -i \end{bmatrix} = l\)
So A5 = A, A9 = A and so on.
Clearly n = 1, 5, 9, ….., 97
Thereore , number of values of n = 25
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.
