Question: The formula in Problem 29 can be used to compute A 2 without an explicit matrix multiplication. It follows that without an explicit matrix multiplication

The formula in Problem 29 can be used to compute A2 without an explicit matrix multiplication. It follows that


3 A = (a + d)A - (ad - bc)A


without an explicit matrix multiplication
