Given,
P(x)=x2−x−6
=x2−3x+2x−6
=x(x−3)+2(x−3)
=(x−3)(x+2)
As here matrix A=[30−12]
Matrix order is 2×2
Hence, A2=[30−12][30−12]
=[90(−3−2)4]
=[90(−5)4]
Now, substituting the values,
P(A)=A2−A−6
Hence,
=[90(−5)4]−[30−12]−6[1001]
=[00−40]
Hence P(A)=[00−40] .

Dear Rebecca, please use the panel for submitting a new question.
Without calculating the determinant, inspect the following: (3.1) 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 -2 (3.2) 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1/4 0
