Solution

First, let's calculate A^2, 4A, and 5I2.

Given matrix A is: A = [3 -1] [2 1]

To find A^2, we multiply matrix A by itself:

A^2 = A * A = [3 -1] * [3 -1] [2 1] [2 1] = [(33 + -12) (3*-1 + -11)] [(23 + 12) (2-1 + 1*1)] = [7 -4] [8 0]

4A is simply 4 times matrix A:

4A = 4 * [3 -1] [2 1] = [12 -4] [8 4]

5I2 is 5 times the 2x2 identity matrix:

5I2 = 5 * [1 0] [0 1] = [5 0] [0 5]

Now, let's calculate A^2 - 4A + 5I2:

A^2 - 4A + 5I2 = [7 -4] - [12 -4] + [5 0] [8 0] [8 4] [0 5] = [-5 0] [0 5]

So, A^2 - 4A + 5I2 = 0.

Now, let's find A^4. We already have A^2, so we just need to multiply A^2 by itself:

A^4 = A^2 * A^2
