Step-by-Step Solution

1. Analyze the Matrix and the Problem We are given the matrix $M=\left(\begin{array}{rr}\frac{5}{2} & \frac{3}{2} \\ -\frac{3}{2} & -\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right)$ and asked to compute $M^{2022}$. Calculating a high power of a matrix suggests using methods like diagonalization or the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.

2. Find the Characteristic Equation of M The characteristic equation is given by $\det(M - \lambda I) = 0$. First, let's find the trace and determinant of $M$. Trace, $\text{tr}(M) = \frac{5}{2} + (-\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{4}{2} = 2$. Determinant, $\det(M) = (\frac{5}{2})(-\frac{1}{2}) - (\frac{3}{2})(-\frac{3}{2}) = -\frac{5}{4} + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$.

   The characteristic equation for a 2x2 matrix is $\lambda^2 - \text{tr}(M)\lambda + \det(M) = 0$. Substituting the values, we get: $\lambda^2 - 2\lambda + 1 = 0$ This can be factored as: $(\lambda - 1)^2 = 0$ The matrix has a repeated eigenvalue $\lambda = 1$.

3. Apply the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem The Cayley-Hamilton theorem states that a matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation. So, we can replace $\lambda$ with $M$: $(M - 1 \cdot I)^2 = O$ $(M - I)^2 = O$ where $I$ is the identity matrix and $O$ is the zero matrix.

4. Decompose the Matrix M Let's define a new matrix $N = M - I$. From the previous step, we have $N^2 = O$. A matrix $N$ such that $N^k = O$ for some integer $k$ is called a nilpotent matrix. Here, $N$ is nilpotent of index 2. We can express $M$ as $M = I + N$.

5. Calculate $M^{2022}$ using Binomial Expansion We want to compute $M^{2022} = (I + N)^{2022}$. Since the identity matrix $I$ commutes with any matrix $N$, we can use the binomial theorem: $(I + N)^{2022} = \binom{2022}{0}I^{2022}N^0 + \binom{2022}{1}I^{2021}N^1 + \binom{2022}{2}I^{2020}N^2 + \dots + \binom{2022}{2022}N^{2022}$ Since $N^2 = O$, all terms involving $N^k$ for $k \ge 2$ will be zero. The expansion simplifies to: $M^{2022} = \binom{2022}{0}I + \binom{2022}{1}N$ $M^{2022} = 1 \cdot I + 2022 \cdot N$

6. Perform the final calculation First, calculate the matrix $N$: $N = M - I = \left(\begin{array}{rr}\frac{5}{2} & \frac{3}{2} \\ -\frac{3}{2} & -\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right) - \left(\begin{array}{rr}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right) = \left(\begin{array}{rr}\frac{3}{2} & \frac{3}{2} \\ -\frac{3}{2} & -\frac{3}{2}\end{array}\right)$ Now substitute this into the expression for $M^{2022}$: $M^{2022} = I + 2022N = \left(\begin{array}{rr}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right) + 2022 \left(\begin{array}{rr}\frac{3}{2} & \frac{3}{2} \\ -\frac{3}{2} & -\frac{3}{2}\end{array}\right)$ $M^{2022} = \left(\begin{array}{rr}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{rr}2022 \cdot \frac{3}{2} & 2022 \cdot \frac{3}{2} \\ -2022 \cdot \frac{3}{2} & -2022 \cdot \frac{3}{2}\end{array}\right)$ $2022 \cdot \frac{3}{2} = 1011 \cdot 3 = 3033$ $M^{2022} = \left(\begin{array}{rr}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{rr}3033 & 3033 \\ -3033 & -3033\end{array}\right)$ $M^{2022} = \left(\begin{array}{cc}1+3033 & 0+3033 \\ 0-3033 & 1-3033\end{array}\right) = \left(\begin{array}{rr}3034 & 3033 \\ -3033 & -3032\end{array}\right)$

7. Conclusion The calculated matrix $M^{2022}$ is $\left(\begin{array}{rr}3034 & 3033 \\ -3033 & -3032\end{array}\right)$. This matches option A.
