    If \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -1 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] and \[I=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\], then the value of k so that \[{{A}^{2}}=8A+kI\] is

    A) \[k=7\]

    B) \[k=-7\]

    C) \[k=0\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] We have, \[{{A}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -1 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -1 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -8 & 49  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] and \[8A+kI=8\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -1 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]+k\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    8 & 0  \\    -8 & 56  \\ \end{matrix} \right]+\left[ \begin{matrix}    k & 0  \\    0 & k  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    8+k & 0  \\    -8 & 56+k  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] Thus, \[{{A}^{2}}=8A+kI\Rightarrow \left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -8 & 49  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    8+k & 0  \\    -8 & 56+k  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow 1=8+k\] and \[56+k=49\Rightarrow k=-7\]
