A=[3−41−1],B=[23494521](3−λ)(−1−λ)+4=0(λ−3)(λ+1)+4=λ2−2λ+=0⇒A2−2A+I=0A2=2A−I,A3=2A2−A=2(2A−I)−A=3A−2IA4=4A2+I−4A=4(2A−I)−4A+I=4(2A−I)−3A=5A−4I(A5)3=(5A−4I)3=125A3−3×25A2(4)+3(5A)(42)−64I=125(3A−2I)−300(2A−I)+240A−64I=A(375−600+240)+I(−250+300−64)=15A−14I⇒A15+B=15A−14I+B=[2−111−11](A15+B)[xy]=[00]⇒2x=11y Answer the question to unlock
