Let P be an m m matrix such that P²=P . Then (1+P)^ n equals -
Options
- AI+P
- BI+n P
- CI+2^ n P
- DI+ (2^ n -1 ) P
Correct answer
D. I+ (2^ n -1 ) P
Step-by-step solution
array l P ²= P P ⁻¹ P ²= P ⁻¹ P P = I ( I + P )^ n =(2 P )^ n =2^ n P ^ n array =2^ n P = P + (2^ n -1 ) P = I + (2^ n -1 ) P
