matrix power

If $A=\left(\begin{array}{cc}1 & 2 \\ 2 & -1\end{array}\right)$, then which ONE of the following is $A^8$ ?

Let $$A$$ be the $$2 \times 2$$ matrix with elements $${a_{11}} = {a_{12}} = {a_{21}} = + 1$$ and $${a_{22}} = - 1$$. Then the eigen values of the matrix $${A^{19}}$$ are

If $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \cr 0 & { - 1} & 0 & { - 1} \cr 0 & 0 & i & i \cr 0 & 0 & 0 & { - i} \cr } } \right]$$ the matrix $${A^4},$$ calculated by the use of Cayley...
