If A=[10−17]A=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0\\ -1 & 7\end{bmatrix}, I=[1001]I=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0\\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix} and A2=8A+kIA^2=8A+kI, then kk is equal to:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A2=[10−849]A^2 = \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-8&49\end{bmatrix} and 8A=[80−856]8A = \begin{bmatrix}8&0\\-8&56\end{bmatrix}.

So kI=A2−8A=[−700−7]=−7IkI = A^2-8A = \begin{bmatrix}-7&0\\0&-7\end{bmatrix} = -7I, giving k=−7k = -7.
