Cayley-Hamilton theorem states that every square matrix satisfies its characteristics equation.
The characteristic equation is
$\begin{bmatrix}1-\lambda&3\\2&2-\lambda\end{bmatrix}=0$
After simplification
$(1-\lambda)(2-\lambda)-6=0$
$2-\lambda-2\lambda+\lambda^2-6=0\\\lambda^2-3\lambda-4=0$
Cayley-Hamilton Theorem states that this equation satisfied by the matrix A i.e
$A^2-3A-4I=0$
$A^2= \begin{bmatrix}1&3\\2&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\2&2\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}7&9\\6&10\end{bmatrix}$
$A^2-3A-4I= \begin{bmatrix}7&9\\6&10\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}3&9\\6&6\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}4&0\\0&4\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix} \text { Hence verified }$
