If (A ) and (B ) are (2 2 ) matrices, then which of the following is true?
Options
- A(( A + B )^2= A ^2+ B ^2+2 AB )
- B((A-B)^2=A^2+B^2-2 A B )
- C((A-B)(A+B)=A^2+A B-B A-B^2 )
- D((A-B)(A+B)=A^2-B^2 )
Correct answer
C. ((A-B)(A+B)=A^2+A B-B A-B^2 )
Step-by-step solution
For two (2 2 ) matrices, (A ~ &~ B ) ( aligned & (A-B) (A+B) & =A A+A B-B A-B B & =A^2-B^2+A B-B A aligned ) Hence, ((A-B)(A+B)=A^2+A B-B A-B^2 )
