By the Cayley–Hamilton theorem, a matrix satisfies its own characteristic polynomial. For a 2×22 \times 22×2 matrix AAA with characteristic polynomial det⁡(A−λI)=λ2−5λ+6\det(A - \lambda I) = \lambda^2 - 5\lambda + 6det(A−λI)=λ2−5λ+6, the relation A2−5A+6I=0A^2 - 5A + 6I = 0A2−5A+6I=0 holds, so A2=5A−6IA^2 = 5A - 6IA2=5A−6I. Express A3A^3A3 in the form cA+dIcA + dIcA+dI.
