Given matrix: \small A=\begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &1 \\ -1 &2 &-1 \\ 1 &-1 &2 \end{bmatrix};

To show: \small A^3-6A^2+9A-4I

Finding each term:

A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &1 \\ -1 &2 &-1 \\ 1 &-1 &2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &1 \\ -1 &2 &-1 \\ 1 &-1 &2 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 4+1+1 &&-2-2-1 &&2+1+2 \\ -2-2-1 &&1+4+1 &&-1-2-2 \\ 2+1+2 &&-1-2-2 && 1+1+4 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 6 &&-5 &&5 \\ -5 &&6 &&-5 \\ 5 &&-5 && 6 \end{bmatrix}

A^{3} =\begin{bmatrix} 6 &&-5 &&5 \\ -5 &&6 &&-5 \\ 5 &&-5 && 6 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &1 \\ -1 &2 &-1 \\ 1 &-1 &2 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 12+5+5 &-6-10-5 &6+5+10 \\ -10-6-5 &5+12+5 & -5-6-10 \\ 10+5+6&-5-10-6 &5+5+12 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 22 &-21 &21 \\ -21 &22 & -21 \\ 21&-21 &22 \end{bmatrix}

So now we have, \small A^3-6A^2+9A-4I

=\begin{bmatrix} 22 &-21 &21 \\ -21 &22 & -21 \\ 21&-21 &22 \end{bmatrix}-6 \begin{bmatrix} 6 &&-5 &&5 \\ -5 &&6 &&-5 \\ 5 &&-5 && 6 \end{bmatrix}+9\begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &1 \\ -1 &2 &-1 \\ 1 &-1 &2 \end{bmatrix}-4\begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 &0 \\ 0 &1 & 0\\ 0& 0& 1 \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} 22 &-21 &21 \\ -21 &22 & -21 \\ 21&-21 &22 \end{bmatrix}- \begin{bmatrix} 36 &&-30 &&30 \\ -30 &&36 &&-30 \\30 &&-30 && 36 \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix} 18 &-9 &9 \\ -9 &18 &-9 \\ 9 &-9 &18 \end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix} 4 &0 &0 \\ 0 &4 & 0\\ 0& 0& 4 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 22-36+18-4 &-21+30-9 &21-30+9 \\ -21+30-9&22-36+18-4 &-21+30-9 \\ 21-30+9&-21+30-9 & 22-36+18-4 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 0 &0 &0 \\ 0&0 &0 \\ 0&0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = O

Now finding the inverse of A;

Post-multiplying by A^{-1} as, |A| \neq 0

\Rightarrow (AAA)A^{-1}-6(AA)A^{-1} +9AA^{-1}-4IA^{-1} = 0

\Rightarrow AA(AA^{-1})-6A(AA^{-1}) +9(AA^{-1})=4IA^{-1}

\Rightarrow A^{2}-6A +9I=4A^{-1}

A^{-1} = \frac{1}{4}(A^{2}-6A+9I)                                        ...................(1)

Now,

From equation (1) we get;

A^{-1} = \frac{1}{4}(\begin{bmatrix} 6 &&-5 &&5 \\ -5 &&6 &&-5 \\ 5 &&-5 && 6 \end{bmatrix}-6\begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &1 \\ -1 &2 &-1 \\ 1 &-1 &2 \end{bmatrix}+9\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0& 0\\ 0&1 &0 \\ 0& 0&1 \end{bmatrix})

A^{-1} = \frac{1}{4} \begin{bmatrix} 6-12+9 &&-5+6 &&5-6 \\ -5+6 &&6-12+9 &&-5+6 \\ 5-6 &&-5+6 && 6-12+9 \end{bmatrix}

Hence inverse of A is :

A^{-1} = \frac{1}{4} \begin{bmatrix} 3 &&1 &&-1 \\ 1 &&3 &&1 \\ -1 &&1 && 3 \end{bmatrix}
