$=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1 & 3\\ -1 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\times \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -3\\ 1 & 0\\ 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix} 3 \times 2+(-1)\times 1+3\times 3\, \, \, & 3 \times (-3)+(-1)\times 0+3\times 1 \\ (-1) \times 2+ 0 \times 1+2\times 3 \, \, \, & (-1) \times -3+0\times 0+2\times 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix} 14 & -6 \\ 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
$A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &-3 \\ 5 &0 &2 \\ 1 & -1 &1 \end{bmatrix}$, $B = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &-1 &2 \\ 4 &2 &5 \\ 2 & 0 &3 \end{bmatrix}$ and $C = \begin{bmatrix} 4 &1 &2 \\ 0 &3 &2 \\ 1 & -2 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
$A+B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &-3 \\ 5 &0 &2 \\ 1 & -1 &1 \end{bmatrix}$ $+ \begin{bmatrix} 3 &-1 &2 \\ 4 &2 &5 \\ 2 & 0 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
$A+B = \begin{bmatrix} 1+3 &2+(-1) &-3+2 \\ 5+4 &0+2 &2+5 \\ 1+2 & -1+0 &1+3 \end{bmatrix}$
$A+B = \begin{bmatrix} 4 &1 &-1 \\ 9 &2 &7 \\ 3 & -1 &4 \end{bmatrix}$
$B-C = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &-1 &2 \\ 4 &2 &5 \\ 2 & 0 &3 \end{bmatrix}$ $-\begin{bmatrix} 4 &1 &2 \\ 0 &3 &2 \\ 1 & -2 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
$B-C = \begin{bmatrix} 3-4 &-1-1 &2-2 \\ 4-0 &2-3 &5-2 \\ 2-1 & 0-(-2) &3-3 \end{bmatrix}$
$B-C = \begin{bmatrix} -1 &-2 &0 \\ 4 &-1 &3 \\ 1 & 2 &0 \end{bmatrix}$
Now, to prove A + (B - C) = (A + B) - C
$L.H.S\, \, :\, A+(B-C)$
$A+(B-C)=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &-3 \\ 5 &0 &2 \\ 1 & -1 &1 \end{bmatrix}$ $+ \begin{bmatrix} -1 &-2 &0 \\ 4 &-1 &3 \\ 1 & 2 &0 \end{bmatrix}$ (Puting value of $B-C$ from above)
$A+(B-C)=\begin{bmatrix} 1-1 &2-2 &-3+0 \\ 5+4 &0+(-1) &2+3 \\ 1+1 & -1+2 &1+0 \end{bmatrix}$
$A+(B-C)=\begin{bmatrix} 0 &0 &-3 \\ 9 &-1 &5 \\ 2 & 1 &1 \end{bmatrix}$
$R.H.S\, \, :\, (A+B)-C$
$(A+B)-C = \begin{bmatrix} 4 &1 &-1 \\ 9 &2 &7 \\ 3 & -1 &4 \end{bmatrix}$ $- \begin{bmatrix} 4 &1 &2 \\ 0 &3 &2 \\ 1 & -2 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
$(A+B)-C = \begin{bmatrix} 4-4 &1-1 &-1-2 \\ 9-0 &2-3 &7-2 \\ 3-1 & -1-(-2) &4-3 \end{bmatrix}$
$(A+B)-C = \begin{bmatrix} 0 &0 &-3 \\ 9 &-1 &5 \\ 2 & 1 &1 \end{bmatrix}$
Hence, we can see L.H.S = R.H.S = $\begin{bmatrix} 0 &0 &-3 \\ 9 &-1 &5 \\ 2 & 1 &1 \end{bmatrix}$
$A = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{3} & 1 & \frac{5}{3}\\ \frac{1}{3} & \frac{2}{3} &\frac{4}{3} \\ \frac{7}{3} & 2 & \frac{2}{3} \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{5} & \frac{3}{5}&1\\ \frac{1}{5} & \frac{2}{5} &\frac{4}{5} \\ \frac{7}{5} & \frac{6}{5} & \frac{2}{5} \end{bmatrix}$
$3A-5B = 3\times \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{3} & 1 & \frac{5}{3}\\ \frac{1}{3} & \frac{2}{3} &\frac{4}{3} \\ \frac{7}{3} & 2 & \frac{2}{3} \end{bmatrix}$ $-5\times \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{5} & \frac{3}{5}&1\\ \frac{1}{5} & \frac{2}{5} &\frac{4}{5} \\ \frac{7}{5} & \frac{6}{5} & \frac{2}{5} \end{bmatrix}$
$3A-5B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 & 5\\ 1 & 2 &4 \\ 7 & 6 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ $- \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 & 5\\ 1 & 2 &4 \\ 7 & 6 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$3A-5B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$3A-5B = 0$
The simplification is explained in the following step
$\cos\theta\begin{bmatrix} \cos\theta & \sin\theta\\ -\sin\theta & \cos\theta \end{bmatrix} + \sin\theta\begin{bmatrix} \sin\theta & -\cos\theta\\ \cos\theta & \sin\theta \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} \cos^{2}\theta & \sin\theta \cos\theta \\ -\sin\theta \cos\theta & \cos^{2}\theta \end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix} \sin^{2}\theta & - \sin\theta \cos\theta\\ \sin\theta\cos\theta & \sin^{2}\theta \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} \cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta & \sin\theta \cos\theta - \sin\theta \cos\theta \\ -\sin\theta \cos\theta + \sin\theta \cos\theta & \cos^{2}\theta + \sin^{2}\theta\end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 1&0 \\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix} =I$
the final answer is an identity matrix of order 2
Question 7(i). Find X and Y, if
$X + Y = \begin{bmatrix} 7 &0 \\ 2 &5 \end{bmatrix}$ and $X - Y = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &0 \\ 0 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
(i) The given matrices are
$X + Y = \begin{bmatrix} 7 &0 \\ 2 &5 \end{bmatrix}$ and $X - Y = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &0 \\ 0 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
$X + Y = \begin{bmatrix} 7 &0 \\ 2 &5 \end{bmatrix}.............................1$
$X - Y = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &0 \\ 0 &3 \end{bmatrix}.............................2$
Adding equation 1 and 2, we get
$2 X = \begin{bmatrix} 7 &0 \\ 2 &5 \end{bmatrix}$ $+ \begin{bmatrix} 3 &0 \\ 0 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
$2 X = \begin{bmatrix} 7+3 &0+0 \\ 2+0 &5+3 \end{bmatrix}$
$2 X = \begin{bmatrix} 10 &0 \\ 2 &8 \end{bmatrix}$
$X = \begin{bmatrix} 5 &0 \\ 1 &4 \end{bmatrix}$
Putting the value of X in equation 1, we get
$\begin{bmatrix} 5 &0 \\ 1 &4 \end{bmatrix}$ $+Y = \begin{bmatrix} 7 &0 \\ 2 &5 \end{bmatrix}$
$Y = \begin{bmatrix} 7 &0 \\ 2 &5 \end{bmatrix} -$ $\begin{bmatrix} 5 &0 \\ 1 &4 \end{bmatrix}$
$Y = \begin{bmatrix} 7-5 &0-0 \\ 2-1 &5-4 \end{bmatrix}$
$Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &0 \\ 1 &1 \end{bmatrix}$
Question 7(ii). Find X and Y, if
$2X + 3Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and $3X + 2Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-2 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
(ii) $2X + 3Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and $3X + 2Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-2 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X + 3Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}..........................1$
$3X + 2Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-2 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}......................2$
Multiply equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2 and subtract them,
$3(2X + 3Y)-2(3X+2Y) = 3 \times \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $- \, \, \, 2\times \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-2 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
$6X + 9Y-6X-4Y= \begin{bmatrix} 6 &9 \\ 12 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $- \begin{bmatrix} 4 &-4 \\ -2 & 10 \end{bmatrix}$
$9Y-4Y= \begin{bmatrix} 6-4 &9-(-4) \\ 12-(-2) & 0-10 \end{bmatrix}$
$5Y= \begin{bmatrix} 2 &13 \\ 14 & -10 \end{bmatrix}$
$Y= \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{5} &\frac{13}{5} \\ \frac{14}{5} & -2 \end{bmatrix}$
Putting value of Y in equation 1 , we get
$2X + 3Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X + 3 \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{5} &\frac{13}{5} \\ \frac{14}{5} & -2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X + \begin{bmatrix} \frac{6}{5} &\frac{39}{5} \\ \frac{42}{5} & -6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} \frac{6}{5} &\frac{39}{5} \\ \frac{42}{5} & -6 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X = \begin{bmatrix} 2-\frac{6}{5} &3-\frac{39}{5} \\ 4-\frac{42}{5} & 0 -(-6)\end{bmatrix}$
$2X = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{4}{5} &-\frac{24}{5} \\ -\frac{22}{5} & 6\end{bmatrix}$
$X = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{5} &-\frac{12}{5} \\ -\frac{11}{5} & 3\end{bmatrix}$
$Y = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X+ Y = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 \\ -3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
Substituting the value of Y in the above equation
$2X+ \begin{bmatrix} 3 &2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 \\ -3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 \\ -3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}- \begin{bmatrix} 3 &2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X = \begin{bmatrix} 1-3 &0-2 \\ -3-1 & 2-4 \end{bmatrix}$
$2X = \begin{bmatrix} -2 &-2 \\ -4 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$
$X = \begin{bmatrix} -1 &-1 \\ -2 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$
$2\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3\\ 0 & x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} y & 0\\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6\\ 1 & 8\end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 6\\ 0 & 2x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} y & 0\\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6\\ 1 & 8\end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix} 2+y & 6+0\\ 0+1 & 2x+2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6\\ 1 & 8\end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix} 2+y & 6\\ 1 & 2x+2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6\\ 1 & 8\end{bmatrix}$
Now equating LHS and RHS we can write the following equations
$2+y=5$ $2x+2=8$
$y=5-2$ $2x=8-2$
$y=3$ $2x=6$
$x=3$
$2\begin{bmatrix}x & z \\ y &t \end{bmatrix} + 3\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = 3\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$
Multiplying with constant terms and rearranging we can rewrite the matrix as
$\begin{bmatrix}2x &2 z \\ 2y &2t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9 &15\\ 12 & 18 \end{bmatrix} - 3\begin{bmatrix} 1& -1\\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}2x &2 z \\ 2y &2t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9 &15\\ 12 & 18 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 3& -3\\ 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}2x &2 z \\ 2y &2t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9-3 &15-(-3)\\ 12-0 & 18-6 \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}2x &2 z \\ 2y &2t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 &18\\ 12 & 12 \end{bmatrix}$
Dividing by 2 on both sides
$\begin{bmatrix}x & z \\ y &t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &9\\ 6 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$
$x=3,y=6,z=9\, \, and\, \, t=6$
$x\begin{bmatrix}2\\3 \end{bmatrix} + y\begin{bmatrix} -1\\1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10\\5 \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}2x\\3x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -y\\y \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10\\5 \end{bmatrix}$
Adding both the matrix in LHS and rewriting
$\begin{bmatrix}2x-y\\3x+y \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10\\5 \end{bmatrix}$
$2x-y=10........................1$
$3x+y=5........................2$
Adding equation 1 and 2, we get
$5x=15$
$x=3$
Put the value of x in equation 2, we have
$3x+y=5$
$3\times 3+y=5$
$9+y=5$
$y=5-9$
$y=-4$
$3\begin{bmatrix}x & y \\ z & w \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} x & 6 \\ -1 & 2w \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 4 &x + y \\ z + w & 3 \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}3x &3 y \\3 z & 3w \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} x+4 & 6+x+y \\ -1+z+w & 2w+3 \end{bmatrix}$
If two matrices are equal than corresponding elements are also equal.
Thus, we have
$3x=x+4$
$3x-x=4$
$2x=4$
$x=2$
$3y=6+x+y$
Put the value of x
$3y-y=6+2$
$2y=8$
$y=4$
$3w=2w+3$
$3w-2w=3$
$w=3$
$3z=-1+z+w$
$3z-z=-1+3$
$2z=2$
$z=1$
Hence, we have $x=2,y=4,z=1\, \, and\, \, w=3.$
$F(x) = \begin{bmatrix} \cos x & -\sin x& 0\\\sin x &\cos x & 0 \\ 0 &0&1\end{bmatrix}$
To prove : $F(x) F(y) = F(x + y)$
$R.H.S : F(x + y)$
$F(x+y) = \begin{bmatrix} \cos (x+y) & -\sin (x+y)& 0\\\sin (x+y) &\cos (x+y) & 0 \\ 0 &0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$L.H.S : F(x) F(y)$
$F(x)F(y) = \begin{bmatrix} \cos x & -\sin x& 0\\\sin x &\cos x & 0 \\ 0 &0&1\end{bmatrix}\times \begin{bmatrix} \cos y & -\sin y& 0\\\sin y &\cos y & 0 \\ 0 &0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$F(x)F(y) = \begin{bmatrix} \cos x \cos y- \sin x\sin y+0 & -\cos x \sin y-\sin x\cos y+0& 0+0+0\\\ sin x\cos y+\cos x \sin y+0 & - \sin x\sin y+\cos x \cos y+0 &0+0+0 \\ 0+0+0 &0+0+0&0+0+1\end{bmatrix}$
$F(x) F(y)= \begin{bmatrix} \cos (x+y) & -\sin (x+y)& 0\\\sin (x+y) &\cos (x+y) & 0 \\ 0 &0&1\end{bmatrix}$
Hence, we have L.H.S. = R.H.S i.e. $F(x) F(y) = F(x + y)$.
Question 14(i). Show that
To prove:
$\begin{bmatrix}5&-1\\6&7 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}\neq \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}5&-1\\6&7 \end{bmatrix}$
$L.H.S : \begin{bmatrix}5&-1\\6&7 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix}5\times 2+(-1)\times 3 &5\times 1+(-1)\times 4\\6\times 2+7\times 3&6\times 1+7\times 4 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix}7 &1\\33&34 \end{bmatrix}$
$R.H.S : \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}5&-1\\6&7 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 2\times 5+1\times 6 & 2\times (-1)+1\times 7\\ 3\times 5+4\times 6 & 3\times (-1)+4\times 7 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 16 & 5\\ 39 & 25 \end{bmatrix}$
Hence, the right-hand side not equal to the left-hand side, that is
Question 14(ii). Show that
To prove the following multiplication of three by three matrices are not equal
$\begin{bmatrix}1& 2&3\\0&1&0\\1&1&0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 & 1\\ 2 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \neq \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 & 1\\ 2 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}1& 2&3\\0&1&0\\1&1&0 \end{bmatrix}$
$L.H.S: \begin{bmatrix}1& 2&3\\0&1&0\\1&1&0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 & 1\\ 2 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix}1\times(-1)+2\times 0+3\times 2 \, \, \, & 1\times(1)+2\times (-1)+3\times 3\, \, \, &1\times(0)+2\times 1+3\times 4\\0\times(-1)+1\times 0+0\times 2\, \, \, &0\times(1)+1\times (-1)+0\times 3\, \, \, &0\times(0)+1\times 1+0\times 4\\1\times(-1)+1\times 0+0\times 2\, \, \, &1\times(1)+1\times (-1)+0\times 3\, \, \, &1\times(0)+1\times 1+0\times 4 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix}5& 8&14\\0&-1&1\\-1&0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$R.H.S : \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 & 1\\ 2 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}1& 2&3\\0&1&0\\1&1&0 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix}-1\times(1)+1\times 0+0\times 1 \, \, \, & -1\times(2)+1\times (1)+0\times 1\, \, \, &-1\times(3)+1\times 0+0\times 0\\0\times(1)+-(1)\times 0+1\times 1\, \, \, &0\times(2)+(-1)\times (1)+1\times 1\, \, \, &0\times(3)+(-1)\times 0+1\times 0\\2\times(1)+3\times 0+4\times 1\, \, \, &2\times(2)+3\times (1)+4\times 1\, \, \, &2\times(3)+3\times 0+4\times 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix}-1& -1&-3\\1&0&0\\6&11&6\end{bmatrix}$
Hence, $L.H.S \neq R.H.S$ i.e. $\begin{bmatrix}1& 2&3\\0&1&0\\1&1&0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 & 1\\ 2 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \neq \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 & 1\\ 2 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}1& 2&3\\0&1&0\\1&1&0 \end{bmatrix}$.
Question 15. Find$A^2 -5A + 6I$, if
$A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 1\\ 2 & 1 &3 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 1\\ 2 & 1 &3 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
First, we will find ou the value of the square of matrix A
$A\times A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 1\\ 2 & 1 &3 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\times \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 1\\ 2 & 1 &3 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix} 2\times 2+0\times 2+1\times 1 & 2\times 0+0\times 1+1\times -1 & 2\times 1+0\times 3+1\times 0\\ 2\times 2+1\times 2+3\times 1& 2\times 0+1\times 1+3\times -1 &2\times 1+1\times 3+3\times 0 \\ 1\times 2+(-1)\times 2+0\times 1 & 1\times 0+(-1)\times 1+0\times -1 & 1\times 1+(-1)\times 3+0\times 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & -1 & 2\\ 9 & -2 &5 \\ 0 & -1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$
$I= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 1 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore$ $A^2 -5A + 6I$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 5 & -1 & 2\\ 9 & -2 &5 \\ 0 & -1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$ $-5 \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 1\\ 2 & 1 &3 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$$+6 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 1 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 5 & -1 & 2\\ 9 & -2 &5 \\ 0 & -1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$$- \begin{bmatrix} 10 & 0 & 5\\ 10 & 5 &15 \\ 5 & -5 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$$+\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 6 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 5-10+6 & -1-0+0 & 2-5+0\\ 9-10+0 & -2-5+6 &5-15+0 \\ 0-5+0 & -1-(-5)+0 & -2-0+6 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & -3\\ -1 & -1 &-10 \\ -5 & 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$
Question 16. If $A = \begin{bmatrix}1&0&2\\0&2&1\\2&0&3 \end{bmatrix}$ prove that $A^3 - 6A^2 + 7A + 2I = 0$.
$A = \begin{bmatrix}1&0&2\\0&2&1\\2&0&3 \end{bmatrix}$
First, find the square of matrix A and then multiply it with A to get the cube of matrix A
$A\times A = \begin{bmatrix}1&0&2\\0&2&1\\2&0&3 \end{bmatrix}$$\times \begin{bmatrix}1&0&2\\0&2&1\\2&0&3 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix}1+0+4&0+0+0&2+0+6\\0+0+2&0+4+0&0+2+3\\2+0+6&0+0+0&4+0+9 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix}5&0&8\\2&4&5\\8&0&13 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{3}=A^{2}\times A$
$A^{2}\times A = \begin{bmatrix}5&0&8\\2&4&5\\8&0&13 \end{bmatrix}$ $\times \begin{bmatrix}1&0&2\\0&2&1\\2&0&3 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{3} = \begin{bmatrix}5+0+16&0+0+0&10+0+24\\2+0+10&0+8+0&4+4+15\\8+0+26&0+0+0&16+0+39 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{3} = \begin{bmatrix}21&0&34\\12&8&23\\34&0&55 \end{bmatrix}$
$I= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 1 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore$ $A^3 - 6A^2 + 7A + 2I = 0$
L.H.S :
$\begin{bmatrix}21&0&34\\12&8&23\\34&0&55 \end{bmatrix}$$- 6\begin{bmatrix}5&0&8\\2&4&5\\8&0&13 \end{bmatrix}$$+7 \begin{bmatrix}1&0&2\\0&2&1\\2&0&3 \end{bmatrix}$$+2 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 1 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}21&0&34\\12&8&23\\34&0&55 \end{bmatrix}$ $- \begin{bmatrix}30&0&48\\12&24&30\\48&0&78 \end{bmatrix}$ $+ \begin{bmatrix}7&0&14\\0&14&7\\14&0&21 \end{bmatrix}$ $+ \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 2 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}21-30+7+2&0-0+0+0&34-48+14+0\\12-12+0+0&8-24+14+2&23-30+7+0\\34-48+14+0&0-0+0+0&55-78+21+2 \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}30-30&0&48-48\\12-12&24-24&30-30\\48-48&0&78-78 \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=0$
Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
i.e.$A^3 - 6A^2 + 7A + 2I = 0$.
$A = \begin{bmatrix}3 &-2\\4&-2 \end{bmatrix}$
$I = \begin{bmatrix}1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$
$A \times A= \begin{bmatrix}3 &-2\\4&-2 \end{bmatrix}$$\times \begin{bmatrix}3 &-2\\4&-2 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix}9-8 &-6+4\\12-8&-8+4 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix}1 &-2\\4&-4 \end{bmatrix}$
$A^{2} = kA - 2I$
$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2\\4&-4 \end{bmatrix}=$$k\begin{bmatrix}3 &-2\\4&-2 \end{bmatrix} -$$2 \begin{bmatrix}1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2\\4&-4 \end{bmatrix}=$$k\begin{bmatrix}3 &-2\\4&-2 \end{bmatrix} -$$\begin{bmatrix}2 &0\\0&2 \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2\\4&-4 \end{bmatrix}+$ $\begin{bmatrix}2 &0\\0&2 \end{bmatrix}$ $=k\begin{bmatrix}3 &-2\\4&-2 \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}1+2 &-2+0\\4+0&-4+2 \end{bmatrix}$$=\begin{bmatrix}3k&-2k\\4k&-2k \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}3 &-2\\4&-2 \end{bmatrix}$ $=\begin{bmatrix}3k&-2k\\4k&-2k \end{bmatrix}$
We have,$3=3k$
$k=\frac{3}{3}=1$
Hence, the value of k is 1.
$A = \begin{bmatrix} 0&-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}& 0\end{bmatrix}$
$I = \begin{bmatrix}1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$
To prove : $I + A = (I- A)\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$
L.H.S : $I+A$
$I+A = \begin{bmatrix}1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$$+ \begin{bmatrix} 0&-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}& 0\end{bmatrix}$
$I+A = \begin{bmatrix} 1+0&0-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\0+\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}&1+ 0\end{bmatrix}$
$I+A = \begin{bmatrix} 1&-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}&1\end{bmatrix}$
R.H.S : $(I- A)\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$
$(I- A)\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$$= (\begin{bmatrix}1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}-$ $\begin{bmatrix} 0&-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}& 0\end{bmatrix})$$\times \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$
$(I- A)\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$ $=\begin{bmatrix} 1-0&0-(-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2})\\0-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}&1- 0\end{bmatrix}$ $\times \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$
$(I- A)\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$$=\begin{bmatrix} 1&\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}&1\end{bmatrix}$ $\times \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha + \sin \alpha\tan\frac{\alpha}{2} &- \sin \alpha+ \cos \alpha \tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2} \cos\alpha + \sin \alpha &\tan\frac{\alpha}{2} \sin\alpha + \cos \alpha \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix} 1-2\sin^{2}\frac{\alpha }{2} + 2\sin\frac{\alpha }{2} \ cos \frac{\alpha }{2}\tan\frac{\alpha}{2} &- 2\sin\frac{\alpha }{2} \ cos \frac{\alpha }{2}+ (2\cos^{2} \frac{\alpha }{2} -1)\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2} (2\cos^{2} \frac{\alpha }{2} -1) + 2\sin\frac{\alpha }{2} \ cos \frac{\alpha }{2} &\tan\frac{\alpha}{2} 2\sin\frac{\alpha } {2} \ cos \frac{\alpha }{2} + 1-2\sin^{2}\frac{\alpha }{2} \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix} 1-2\sin^{2}\frac{\alpha }{2} + 2\sin^{2}\frac{\alpha }{2} &- 2\sin\frac{\alpha }{2} \ cos \frac{\alpha }{2}+ 2\sin\frac{\alpha }{2} \ cos \frac{\alpha }{2} -\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\-2\sin\frac{\alpha }{2} \ cos \frac{\alpha }{2}+\tan\frac{\alpha}{2} + 2\sin\frac{\alpha }{2} \ cos \frac{\alpha }{2} & 2\sin^{2}\frac{\alpha } {2} + 1-2\sin^{2}\frac{\alpha }{2} \end{bmatrix}$
$= \begin{bmatrix} 1&-\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}\\\tan\frac{\alpha}{2}&1\end{bmatrix}$
Hence, we can see L.H.S = R.H.S
i.e. $I + A = (I- A)\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$.
Rs. 1800
Let Rs. x be invested in the first bond.
Money invested in second bond = Rs (3000-x)
The first bond pays 5% interest per year and the second bond pays 7% interest per year.
To obtain an annual total interest of Rs. 1800, we have
$\begin{bmatrix}x &(30000-x) \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} \frac{5}{100} \\ \frac{7}{100} \end{bmatrix}$ $=1800$ (simple interest for 1 year $=\frac{pricipal\times rate}{100}$ )
$\frac{5}{100}x+\frac{7}{100}(30000-x) = 1800$
$5x+210000-7x=180000$
$210000-180000=7x-5x$
$30000=2x$
$x=15000$
Thus, to obtain an annual total interest of Rs. 1800, the trust fund should invest Rs 15000 in the first bond and Rs 15000 in the second bond.
Rs. 2000
Let Rs. x be invested in the first bond.
Money invested in second bond = Rs (3000-x)
The first bond pays 5% interest per year and the second bond pays 7% interest per year.
To obtain an annual total interest of Rs. 1800, we have
$\begin{bmatrix} x & (30000 - x) \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \frac{5}{100} \\ \frac{7}{100} \end{bmatrix} = 2000$
(Simple interest for 1 year = $\frac{\text{Principal} \times \text{Rate}}{100}$)
$\frac{5}{100}x + \frac{7}{100}(30000 - x) = 2000$
$\frac{5x + 210000 - 7x}{100} = 2000$
$\frac{210000 - 2x}{100} = 2000$
$210000 - 2x = 200000$
$210000 - 200000 = 2x$
$10000 = 2x$
$x = 5000$
Thus, to obtain an annual total interest of Rs. 2000, the trust fund should invest Rs 5000 in the first bond and Rs 25000 in the second bond.
The bookshop has 10 dozen chemistry books, 8 dozen physics books, 10 dozen economics books.
Their selling prices are Rs 80, Rs 60 and Rs 40 each respectively.
The total amount the bookshop will receive from selling all the books:
$12$$\begin{bmatrix}10 &8&10 \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix}80\\60\\40 \end{bmatrix}$
$=12(10\times 80+8\times 60+10\times 40)$
$= 12(800+480+ 400)$
$= 12(1680)$
$=20160$
The total amount the bookshop will receive from selling all the books is 20160.
Q21. The restriction on n, k and p so that PY + WY will be defined are:
(A) $k = 3, p = n$
(B) k is arbitrary,$p = 2$
(C) p is arbitrary, $k = 3$
(D) $k = 2, p = 3$
P and Y are of order \( p \times k \) and \( 3 \times k \) respectively.
Therefore, \( PY \) will be defined only if \( k = 3 \), i.e., the order of \( PY \) is \( p \times k \).
W and Y are of order \( n \times 3 \) and \( 3 \times k \) respectively.
Therefore, \( WY \) is defined because the number of columns of \( W \) is equal to the number of rows of \( Y \), which is 3, i.e., the order of \( WY \) is \( n \times k \).
Matrices \( PY \) and \( WY \) can only be added if they both have the same order, i.e., \( p \times k = n \times k \Rightarrow p = n \).
Therefore, \( k = 3 \), \( p = n \) are restrictions on \( n \), \( k \), and \( p \) so that \( PY + WY \) will be defined.
Option (A) is correct.
$X$ has order $2 \times n$.
Therefore, $7X$ also has order $2 \times n$.
$Z$ has order $2 \times p$.
Therefore, $5Z$ also has order $2 \times p$.
Matrices $7X$ and $5Z$ can only be subtracted if they both have the same order, i.e., $2 \times n = 2 \times p$, and it is given that $p = n$.
We can say that both matrices have order $2 \times n$.
Therefore, the order of $7X - 5Z$ is $2 \times n$.
Option (B) is correct.
Also Read,
The matrix $\mathrm{C}=\left[c_{ik}\right]_{m \ m\times p}$ is the product of A and B.
(i) $\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C})=\mathrm{AB}+\mathrm{AC}$
(ii) $(\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}) \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{AC}+\mathrm{BC}$, whenever both sides of equality are defined.
