Verify that A2 = I when A =

Question:

Verify that A2 = I when A =

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & 4 \\ 3 & -3 & 4\end{array}\right]$

Solution:

Given, $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & 4 \\ 3 & -3 & 4\end{array}\right]$

So, $A^{2}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & 4 \\ 3 & -3 & 4\end{array}\right] \cdot\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & 4 \\ 3 & -3 & 4\end{array}\right]$

$=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0+4-3 & 0-3+3 & 0+4-4 \\ 0-12+12 & 4+9-12 & -4-12+16 \\ 0-12+12 & 3+9-12 & -3-12+16\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]=I$

Hence proved.
