How to find the matrix represented by the polynomials $A^{12}-5A^{11}+…+3I$?

$begingroup$


I need to find the characteristic equation of the matrix $ A = begin{bmatrix}
2&1&1\
0&1&0\
1&1&2\
end{bmatrix} $ and find the matrix represented by $ A^{12}-5A^{11}+7A^{10}-3A^{9}-A^8+5A^7-7A^6+3A^5+A^4-5A^3+8A^2-4A+3I $



My attempt:



I started by finding the character equation which was $ lambda^3-5lambda^2+7lambda-3=0 $ where $lambda$ is the eigenvalue, and found $lambda = 5,frac{9+sqrt{69}}{2},frac{9-sqrt{69}}{2} $



$lambda = 5$ satisfies the equation and I would take $lambda = 5$ let $lambda = A$ and $ A^3-5 A^2+7A -3=0 $.

I don't know how to proceed further. All help would be appreciated.



Edit: What I can do, is multiply the matrix $A$ by itself and consequently the resultant matrix would be $A^2$ and so on. However, I'm not sure if this will give an accurate answer.

    I suspect the characteristic equation is $lambda^3 - 5lambda^2 + 7lambda - 3 = 0$. You might want to double check your work on that part.

The characteristic polynomial of $A$ is $p(lambda) = det(lambda I - A) = lambda^3-5lambda^2+7lambda-3$.



So by the Cayley-Hamilton theorem $p(A) = A^3-5A^2+7A-3I = 0$ (*).



Multiplying (*) by $A^9$ yields $A^{12}-5A^{11}+7A^{10}-3A^9 = 0$ (1).



Multiplying (*) by $-A^5$ yields $-A^8+5A^7-7A^6+3A^5 = 0$ (2).



Multiplying (*) by $A$ yields $A^4-5A^3+7A^2-3A = 0$ (3).



If we add (1), (2), and (3), we get $$A^{12}-5A^{11}+7A^{10}-3A^9-A^8+5A^7-7A^6+3A^5+A^4-5A^3+7A^2-3A = 0$$



Can you take it from here?

    yes absolutely! However, I am not allowed to multiply the matrix A by any matrix greater than $A^3$ in the exam for some reason. Is this an attempt to baffle the student into making a mistake? I will never know but nonetheless I will try your solution though regardless of the risks.

    You don't have to actually compute $A^3$ or any other higher power of $A$. Just add $A^2-A+3I$ to both sides of the last equation I wrote. Then, the left side is the expression you are looking for, and the right side is something that should be easy enough to compute.

Check you computation for the characteristic polynomial $chi_A$.



Hint:



Divide the polynomial $p(x)=x^{12}-5x^{11}+dots+3$ by the characteristic polynomial:
$$p(x)=q(x)chi_A(x)+r(x)qquad (deg r le 2),$$ to get
$$p(A)=q(A)chi_A(A)+r(A)=r(A).$$:
