If A = 1 5 λ 10 ,   A - 1 = α A + β I and α + β = - 2 , then 4 α 2 +…

If A=15λ10, A-1=αA+βI and α+β=-2, then 4α2+β2+λ2 is equal to :
  1. 12
  2. 19
  3. 14
  4. 10

Solution

Given,

A=15λ10, A-1=αA+βI and α+β=-2,

Now solving by using characteristic equation, we get
|A-k|=01-k5λ10-k=0

k2-11k+10-5λ=0

A2-11A+(10-5λ)I=0 {by putting k=A}

  A-1=110-5λ(-A+11I)

Now on comparing with A-1=αA+βI we get,

α=-110-5λ, β=1110-5λ

And given,

α+β=-2λ=3, α=15, β=-115

Hence, the value of 4α2+β2+λ2=14
