Given : 

A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}

To prove:

              A^n =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1} &3^{n-1} \\ 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}\\ 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} \end{bmatrix}

For n=1, we have  

                             A^1 =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{1-1} & 3^{1-1} &3^{1-1} \\ 3^{1-1}& 3^{1-1} & 3^{1-1}\\ 3^{1-1} & 3^{1-1}& 3^{1-1} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3^{0} & 3^{0} &3^{0} \\ 3^{0}& 3^{0} & 3^{0}\\ 3^{0} & 3^{0}& 3^{0} \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}=A

Thus, result is true for n=1.

Now, take n=k, 

                          A^k =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1} &3^{k-1} \\ 3^{k-1}& 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1}\\ 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1}& 3^{k-1} \end{bmatrix}

For, n=k+1,

                  A^{K+1}=A.A^K

                               = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1} &3^{k-1} \\ 3^{k-1}& 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1}\\ 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1}& 3^{k-1} \end{bmatrix}

                                 =\begin{bmatrix}3. 3^{k-1} & 3.3^{k-1} &3.3^{k-1} \\3. 3^{k-1}& 3.3^{k-1} & 3.3^{k-1}\\3. 3^{k-1} & 3.3^{k-1}&3. 3^{k-1} \end{bmatrix}

                                 =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{(K+1)-1} &3^{(K+1)-1} &3^{(K+1)-1}\\ 3^{(K+1)-1}&3^{(K+1)-1} &3^{(K+1)-1}\\ 3^{(K+1)-1} & 3^{(K+1)-1}& 3^{(K+1)-1}\end{bmatrix}

Thus, the result is true for n=k+1.

Hence, we have   A^n =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1} &3^{n-1} \\ 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}\\ 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} \end{bmatrix}, n\in N   where A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}.
