Q.1 Verify Cayley Hamilton theorem for matrix -

and hence find its inverse.

Answer

By systematically calculating the characteristic polynomial , the Cayley-Hamilton theorem is rigorously verified using matrix multiplication, and is exactly computed from this identity.

The Cayley-Hamilton theorem absolutely asserts that every real square matrix rigidly satisfies its very own characteristic equation.

Step 1: Characteristic Equation

We strictly evaluate the mathematical determinant :

Expanding rigidly exactly along the first row:

Step 2: Verifying Cayley-Hamilton

We must strictly prove mathematically that .

Calculate exactly :

Calculate exactly :

Substitute these completely into the matrix equation:

Summing the explicit elements for the position: . This rigorously holds absolutely exactly for all 9 elements. Thus, the theorem is mathematically verified.

Step 3: Calculating the Inverse

Multiply the entire proven identity exactly by :
