Given rank-$1$ matrix $A$, how to compute $A^{100}$? 
$$A = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 4\\ -6 & -4\end{bmatrix}$$ Find $A^{100}$.


I tried to find it using diagonalization, but as it is a singular matrix so one of eigenvectors came out zero. How $A^{100}$ can be calculated of same matrix?

$$|\lambda I - A| = \lambda^2 - 2\lambda$$
A matrix satisfies its characteristic equation:
$$A^2 -2A =0$$
$$A^2 = 2A$$
$$A^4 = 4A^2 = 8A$$
$$A^8 = 16A^4= 2^7 A$$
$$A^{16} = (A^4)^4 = 2^{12}A^4=2^{15}A$$
$$A^{32}= (A^16)^2 = 2^{30}A^2 = 2^{31}A$$
$$A^{64} = (A^16)^4 = 2^{60} A^4 = 2^{63}A$$
$$A^{100}= A^{64+32+4} = 2^{63+31+3}A^3 = 2^{97}A^3=2^{99}A$$
$$A^{100} \approx \pmatrix{3.8&2.5\\-3.8&-2.5}\cdot10^{30}$$
