easy
If $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\a&b&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]$, then ${A^2} = $
A
Unit matrix
B
Null matrix
C
$A$
D
$-A$
Solution
(a) ${A^2} = A.\,A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\a&b&{ – 1}\end{array}} \right]\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\a&b&{ – 1}\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}} \right] = I$
