If A and B are 2 different matrices satisfying A3=B3 and A2B=B2A, then value of det (A2+B2) is
Open in App
Solution
Given A3=B3 and A2B=B2A, ...(1) Consider (A2+B2)(A−B)=A3−A2B+B2A−B3 ⇒(A2+B2)(A−B)=O ....(2) Since, A and B are different matrices So, A≠B A−B≠O So, from equation (2), it follows A2+B2=O ⇒det(A2+B2)=0
