If $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & -2 \\ 4 & -2\end{array}\right]$, find the value of $\lambda$ so that $A^{2}=\lambda A-2 I$. Hence, find $A^{-1}$.
$A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & -2\end{array}\right.$
$4-2]$
$\therefore \mathrm{A}^{2}=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & -2\end{array}\right.$
$4-4]$
Given :
$A^{2}=\lambda A-2 I$ ....(1)
$\Rightarrow[1-2$
$4-4]=\lambda\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & -2\end{array}\right.$
$4-2]-2\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0\end{array}\right.$
$\left.\begin{array}{ll}0 & 1\end{array}\right]$
$\Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & -2\end{array}\right.$
$4-4]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 \lambda & -2 \lambda\end{array}\right.$
$4 \lambda \quad-2 \lambda-2]$
On equating corresponding terms, we get
$\begin{aligned}-2 \lambda &=-2 \\ \Rightarrow \lambda &=1 \end{aligned}$
On substituting $\lambda=1$ in (1), we get
$A^{2}=A-2 I$
$\Rightarrow A^{2}-A=-2 I$
$\Rightarrow A-A^{2}=2 I$
$\Rightarrow A^{-1}\left(A-A^{2}\right)=A^{-1} \times 2 I \quad\left(\right.$ Pre $-$ multiplying both sides with $\left.A^{-1}\right)$
$\Rightarrow I-A=2 A^{-1}$
$0 \quad 1]-\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & -2\end{array}\right.$
$4-2]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1-3 & 0+2\end{array}\right.$
$0-4 \quad 1+2]$
$\Rightarrow A^{-1}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{ll}-2 & 2\end{array}\right.$
$-4 \quad 3]$
