Correct answer: D

  1. Use the definition of QQQ

Given

Q=PAPTQ = P A P^TQ=PAPT

and we need

PTQ2007P.P^T Q^{2007} P.PTQ2007P.

Since PPP is an orthogonal matrix (it is a rotation matrix), we have

PTP=I.P^T P = I.PTP=I.

So,

Q2007=(PAPT)2007=PA2007PT.Q^{2007} = (PAP^T)^{2007} = P A^{2007} P^T.Q2007=(PAPT)2007=PA2007PT.

Therefore,

PTQ2007P=PT(PA2007PT)P=A2007.P^T Q^{2007} P = P^T (P A^{2007} P^T) P = A^{2007}.PTQ2007P=PT(PA2007PT)P=A2007.

So we only need to compute A2007A^{2007}A2007.


  1. Compute AnA^nAn for
A=[1101]A = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 1\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix}A=[10​11​]

Write

A=I+N,A = I + N,A=I+N,

where

N=[0100].N = \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1\\0 & 0\end{bmatrix}.N=[00​10​].

Now,

N2=0.N^2 = 0.N2=0.

Hence,

An=(I+N)n=I+nNA^n = (I+N)^n = I + nNAn=(I+N)n=I+nN

by the binomial theorem.

So,

A2007=I+2007N=[1200701].A^{2007} = I + 2007N = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 2007\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix}.A2007=I+2007N=[10​20071​].

Thus,

PTQ2007P=[abcd]=[1200701].P^T Q^{2007} P = \begin{bmatrix}a & b\\c & d\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 2007\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix}.PTQ2007P=[ac​bd​]=[10​20071​].

Therefore,

a=1,b=2007,c=0,d=1.a=1,\quad b=2007,\quad c=0,\quad d=1.a=1,b=2007,c=0,d=1.
  1. Evaluate the required expression
2a+b−3c−4d=2(1)+2007−3(0)−4(1).2a+b-3c-4d = 2(1) + 2007 - 3(0) - 4(1).2a+b−3c−4d=2(1)+2007−3(0)−4(1). =2+2007−4=2005.= 2 + 2007 - 4 = 2005.=2+2007−4=2005.
  1. Check with options

The value is

2005.\boxed{2005}.2005​.

So the correct option is D.
