Assume that a square matrix A satisfies 2A^2 + 5A − 4I = 0. Show that 2A − I is invertible and find its inverse in terms of A
Added by Ava T.
Step 1
Then, we can factor out A from the left side to get A(2A + 5I) = 4I. Show more…

Matrix Inversion
Verify that the inverse of an invertible $2 \times 2$ matrix $$\begin{aligned} &A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right]\\ &\text { is given by } A^{-1}=\frac{1}{a d-b c}\left[\begin{array}{rr} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{array}\right] \end{aligned}$$

The Inverse of a Square Matrix
(a) Show that if a square matrix $A$ satisfies the equation $A^{2}+2 A+I=0,$ then $A$ must be invertible. What is the inverse? (b) Show that if $p(x)$ is a polynomial with a nonzero constant term, and if $A$ is a square matrix for which $p(A)=0,$ then $A$ is invertible.
