Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

None of the given options match the calculated adjugate matrix. Possible typo in answer choices.

Step 1: Calculate A^2

To find \( A^2 \), multiply matrix \( A \) by itself.\[ A = \begin{bmatrix}2 & -3 \ -4 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]Then,\[ A^2 = \begin{bmatrix}2 & -3 \ -4 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}2 & -3 \ -4 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} (2 \times 2 + (-3) \times (-4)) & (2 \times (-3) + (-3) \times 1) \ (-4 \times 2 + 1 \times (-4)) & ((-4) \times (-3) + 1 \times 1) \end{bmatrix} \]\[ = \begin{bmatrix}2^2 + 3 \times 4 & 2 \times (-3) + (-3) \times 1 \ -4 \times 2 - 4 & (-4) \times (-3) + 1 \end{bmatrix} \]\[ = \begin{bmatrix}22 & -9 \ -12 & 13 \end{bmatrix} \]

Step 2: Calculate 3A^2

Multiply the matrix \( A^2 \) by 3.\[ 3A^2 = 3 \times \begin{bmatrix}22 & -9 \ -12 & 13 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}66 & -27 \ -36 & 39 \end{bmatrix} \]

Step 3: Calculate 3A^2 + 12A

Add \( 3A^2 \) to \( 12A \).First, calculate \( 12A \):\[ 12A = 12 \times \begin{bmatrix}2 & -3 \ -4 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}24 & -36 \ -48 & 12 \end{bmatrix} \]Now, add \( 3A^2 \) and \( 12A \):\[ 3A^2 + 12A = \begin{bmatrix}66 & -27 \ -36 & 39 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix}24 & -36 \ -48 & 12 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}66+24 & -27-36 \ -36-48 & 39+12 \end{bmatrix} \]\[ = \begin{bmatrix}90 & -63 \ -84 & 51 \end{bmatrix} \]

Step 4: Calculate Adj(3A^2 + 12A)

To find the adjugate (adjoint) of a 2x2 matrix \( \begin{bmatrix} a & b \ c & d \end{bmatrix} \), swap elements \( a \) and \( d \), and change the signs of \( b \) and \( c \).Let \( M = \begin{bmatrix}90 & -63 \ -84 & 51 \end{bmatrix} \), then:\[ \operatorname{adj}(M) = \begin{bmatrix} 51 & 63 \ 84 & 90 \end{bmatrix} \]

Step 5: Choose the Correct Option

The result of \( \operatorname{adj}(3A^2 + 12A) \) is \( \begin{bmatrix} 51 & 63 \ 84 & 90 \end{bmatrix} \). Compare this matrix to the options provided:- Option (c) is \( \begin{bmatrix} 51 & 63 \ 84 & 72 \end{bmatrix} \)- Option (d) is \( \begin{bmatrix} 51 & 84 \ 63 & 72 \end{bmatrix} \)No option matches exactly, indicating a possible typographical error in options. Based on step calculations, the correct adjugate matrix is \( \begin{bmatrix} 51 & 63 \ 84 & 90 \end{bmatrix} \).

Key Concepts

Adjugate Matrix

An adjugate matrix, also known as an adjoint matrix, plays a crucial role in various operations in matrix algebra, especially when dealing with inverse matrices and transformations. To better understand the concept, let's look at how to find the adjugate of a 2x2 matrix.
Consider a generic 2x2 matrix:\[\begin{bmatrix} a & b \c & d \end{bmatrix}\]### How to Find the Adjugate:To obtain the adjugate of this matrix, follow these simple steps:

• Swap the diagonal elements, so \(a\) and \(d\) change positions.
• Change the sign of the off-diagonal elements \(b\) and \(c\).

So, the adjugate of the matrix will be:\[\begin{bmatrix} d & -b \-c & a \end{bmatrix}\]Understanding adjugate matrices is essential because they simplify finding the inverse of a matrix, especially for students beginning to learn about matrices. For a 2x2 matrix, the inverse can be derived using the formula \[-(1/\text{det}) \times \text{adj}(A)\] where \( \text{det} \) is the determinant of the original matrix.

Matrix Multiplication

Matrix multiplication is a fundamental operation in matrix algebra, crucial for transforming and manipulating matrices. Here's how it works, focusing on a 2x2 matrix multiplication: Suppose you have two matrices: \[A = \begin{bmatrix} e & f \g & h \end{bmatrix}\]and \[B = \begin{bmatrix} i & j \k & l \end{bmatrix}\]### Steps to Multiply:To find the product \(AB\), follow these steps:

• Multiply the elements of the rows of \(A\) with the columns of \(B\), then add the products.
• For example, the element in the first row and first column of the product matrix is calculated as: \( e \times i + f \times k \).
• Repeat this process for other elements:
  • First row, second column: \(e \times j + f \times l\)
  • Second row, first column: \(g \times i + h \times k\)
  • Second row, second column: \(g \times j + h \times l\)

The final product matrix, \(C\), will be: \[C = \begin{bmatrix} e \times i + f \times k & e \times j + f \times l \g \times i + h \times k & g \times j + h \times l \end{bmatrix}\] Understanding the process of matrix multiplication is vital because it sets the foundation for more complex concepts in linear algebra, including transformations and systems of equations.

2x2 Matrix

2x2 matrices are among the simplest forms of matrices, yet they possess properties and operations that explain many principles in linear algebra. Each matrix has two rows and two columns, forming a matrix like this: \[\begin{bmatrix} m & n \p & q \end{bmatrix}\]### Key Properties of 2x2 Matrices:

• Determinant: The determinant of a 2x2 matrix \(\begin{bmatrix} m & n \p & q \end{bmatrix}\) is calculated as \(mq - np\). The determinant tells you if the matrix is invertible (non-zero determinant) and is used to find the inverse.
• Inverse: If the determinant is not zero, the inverse of the 2x2 matrix can be found using the formula: \[\frac{1}{mq-np}\begin{bmatrix} q & -n \-p & m \end{bmatrix}\]The inverse is critical in solving systems of linear equations.

2x2 matrices may be small, but mastering their operations and properties is vital for understanding more advanced mathematical concepts and applications, such as eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
