Answer:
The matrix A² - 5A - 7I is diagonal matrix.
Option c) diagonal matrix
Step-by-step-explanation:
NOTE: Refer to the attachments for the answer in app.
We have given a matrix A.
We have to find the type of the matrix A² - 5A - 7I.
The given matrix is
Now, finding the matrix A²,
Now, finding the matrix 5A,
Now, finding the matrix 7I,
Now, we have to find,
Here, the diagonal elements are - 14 i. e. non-zero and the remaining elements are zero.
∴ The matrix A² - 5A - 7I is diagonal matrix.
