2B=2[3221]=[6442]A2=[1221][1221]=[1×1+(2)×21×(2)+(2)×(1)2×1+(1)×22×(2)+(1)×(1)]=[142+2224+1]=[3003]2BA2=[6442][3003]=[6(3)40402(3)]=[9445]2B = 2\begin{bmatrix}[r] 3 & 2 \ -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 & 4 \ -4 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] A^2 = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 & -2 \ 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 & -2 \ 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 \times 1 + (-2) \times 2 & 1 \times (-2) + (-2) \times (-1) \ 2 \times 1 + (-1) \times 2 & 2 \times (-2) + (-1)\times (-1) \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 - 4 & -2 + 2 \ 2 - 2 & -4 + 1 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 & 0 \ 0 & -3 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] \therefore 2B - A^2 = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 & 4 \ -4 & 2 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 & 0 \ 0 & -3 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 - (-3) & 4 - 0 \ -4 - 0 & 2 - (-3) \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 9 & 4 \ -4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}

Hence, the matrix 2B - A2 = [9445].\begin{bmatrix}[r] 9 & 4 \ -4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}.
