Inverse of a matrix and matrix relation

Since the characteristic polynomial of $A$ is $-\lambda ^3+2\lambda^2+\lambda-2$, you know, by the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, that $-A^3+2A^2+A-2\operatorname{Id}_3=0$. Therefore,$$A^{-1}=-\frac12A^2+A+\frac12\operatorname{Id}_3.$$On the other hand,\begin{align}A^{2006}-2A^{2005}&=A^{2003}(A^3-2A^2)\\&=A^{2003}(A-2\operatorname{Id}_3)\\&=A^{2001}(A^3-2A^2)\\&=A^{2001}(A-2\operatorname{Id}_3)\\&=\cdots\end{align}

In this case it is not necessary to calculate the characteristic polynomial of $\;A\;$ and apply the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.

Since $\;A=\begin{pmatrix} 2 & -1 & -1\\ 0 & -2 & -1 \\ 0 & 3 & 2 \\ \end{pmatrix}\;$ and $\;A^2=\begin{pmatrix} 4 & -3 & -3\\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{pmatrix}\;,\;$ the first column of the matrix $\;A-2I_3\;$ only contains zeros, moreover the second and the third row of the matrix $\;A^2-I_3\;$ only contain zeros, therefore

$\left(A-2I_3\right)\left(A^2-I_3\right)=0\;,$

$A^3-A-2A^2+2I_3=0\;,$

$I_3=\frac{1}{2}A+A^2-\frac{1}{2}A^3\;,$

and, by multiplying both sides of the previous equality by $\;A^{-1}$, we get that

$A^{-1}=\frac{1}{2}I_3+A-\frac{1}{2}A^2\;.$
