Let fx=x2-5...
Question
Let
f
(
x
)
=
x
2
−
5
x
+
5
then find
f
(
A
)
for
A
=
[
3
1

2
]
.

Solution
Given the matrix,
A
=
[
3
1
1
2
]
.
Now the characteristic equation corresponding to the matrix
A
is,
|
A
−
a
I
|
=
0
[ Where
I
is the unit matrix of order
2
and
a
is a scalar]
or,
∣
∣
∣
3
−
a
1
1
2
−
a
∣
∣
∣
=
0
or,
(
3
−
a
)
(
2
−
a
)
−
1
=
0
or,
a
2
−
5
a
+
5
=
0
Now by Caley Hamilton's theorem every square matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation.
Then
A
2
−
5
A
+
5
I
=
O
. [ Where
O
is the zero matrix of order
2
]
or,
f
(
A
)
=
O
.
