If $$i^2 = -1$$ and $$A =Â \begin{bmatrix}i & 0 \\0 & -i \end{bmatrix}$$ then $$A^{-1} =$$
As can be seen from the options, $$A^{-1}$$ is going to be a power of A itself.Â
We can continuing multiplying A successively to its own powers till we arrive at an identity matrix.Â
If the identity matrix is arrived at $$A^n$$ , then we can say that $$A^{n-1\ }=\ A^{-1}$$
Starting with the multiplication, we can see that a 2x2 identity matrix is arrived at at $$A^4$$
Hence, $$A^3$$ is the inverse of matrix A.Â
