Answer

$ f(A)= \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 0 \\ 8 & 2 \end{bmatrix} $

Work Step by Step

We plug in the matrix into the polynomial function: \begin{equation} f(A) = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0\\ 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}^{2} - 5\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0\\ 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix} + 2\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0\\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix} \\ \end{equation} \begin{equation} f(A) = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0\\ 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0\\ 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 5\times2 & 5\times0\\ 5\times4 & 5\times5 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 2\times1 & 2\times0\\ 2\times0 & 2\times1\end{bmatrix} \\ \end{equation} \begin{equation} f(A) = \begin{bmatrix} 2\times2+0\times4 & 2\times0+0\times5\\ 4\times2+5\times4 & 4\times0+5\times5 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 10 & 0\\ 20& 25 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0\\ 0 & 2\end{bmatrix} \\ \end{equation} \begin{equation} f(A) = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0\\ 28 & 25 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 8 & 0\\ 20 & 23 \end{bmatrix} \end{equation} $ f(A)= \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 0 \\ 8 & 2 \end{bmatrix} $
