Solution

Here,

`f (x) =x^2−2x−3`

`⇒f(A)=A^2−2A−3I_2`

Now,

`A^2=A A`

`⇒A^2=[[1    2],[2     1]] ,[[1     2],[2      1]]`

`⇒A^2= [[1+4       2+2],[2+2      4+1]]`

`⇒A^2= [[5    4],[4     5]]`

`f(A)=A^2−2A−3I_2`

⇒f(A)= `[[5       4],[4      5]]-2[[1     2],[2      1]]-3[[1         0],[0     1]]`

⇒f(A)=`[[5       4],[4      5]]-[[2     4],[4    2]]-[[3   0],[0    3]]`

⇒f(A)=`[[5-2-3         4-4-0],[4-4-0       5-2-3]]`

⇒f(A)= `[[5-5             0],[0                  5 -5]]`

⇒f(A)=0
