Solution

Given A2=kA2IAA=kA2I
[3242][3242]=k[3242]2[1001][986+41288+4]=[3k2k4k2k][2002][1244]=[3k22k4k2k2]
By definition of equality of matrix as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
3k2=1k=12k=2k=14k=4k=1
4=2k2k=1 Hence, k=1
