Sample questions

  1. 1.If matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $A^2 = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & x \\ 0 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$, then the value of $x$ is:
    • A.2
    • B.4
    • C.8
    • D.10
  2. 2.If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} -8 \\ 8 \end{bmatrix}$, which matrix $X$ satisfies $2AX = B$?
    • A.$\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ -2 \end{bmatrix}$
    • B.$\begin{bmatrix} -2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$
    • C.$\begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}$
    • D.$\begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}$
  3. 3.Find a matrix $X$ satisfying $A^2 = A + 2X$ if $A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$.
  4. 4.Find the values of $x$ and $y$ that satisfy the equation: $$\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2 \\ -1 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2x \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} + 2 \begin{bmatrix} -4 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix} = 4 \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ y \end{bmatrix}$$
    • A.$x = 2$, $y = 3$
    • B.$x = 1$, $y = 4$
    • C.$x = 3$, $y = 2$
    • D.$x = -2$, $y = 1$
  5. 5.If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ then $A^2$ is equal to
    • a.$\left[ \begin{array}{ll}1 & 1\\ 0 & 0 \end{array} \right]$
    • b.$\left[ \begin{array}{ll}0 & 0\\ 1 & 1 \end{array} \right]$
    • c.$\left[ \begin{array}{ll}1 & 0\\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]$
    • d.$\left[ \begin{array}{ll}0 & 1\\ 1 & 0 \end{array} \right]$
