Determinants Miscellaneous Exercise

Question:1 Prove that the determinant \begin{vmatrix} x & \sin \theta &\cos \theta \\ -\sin \theta &-x & 1\\ \cos \theta &1 &x \end{vmatrix} is independent of \theta.

Answer:

Calculating the determinant value of \begin{vmatrix} x & \sin \theta &\cos \theta \\ -\sin \theta &-x & 1\\ \cos \theta &1 &x \end{vmatrix};

= x\begin{bmatrix} -x &1 \\ 1& x \end{bmatrix}-\sin \Theta\begin{bmatrix} -\sin \Theta &1 \\ \cos \Theta& x \end{bmatrix} + \cos \Theta \begin{bmatrix} -\sin \Theta &-x \\ \cos \Theta& 1 \end{bmatrix}

= x(-x^2-1)-\sin \Theta (-x\sin \Theta-\cos \Theta)+\cos\Theta(-\sin \Theta+x\cos\Theta)

= -x^3-x+x\sin^2 \Theta+ \sin \Theta\cos \Theta-\cos\Theta\sin \Theta+x\cos^2\Theta

= -x^3-x+x(\sin^2 \Theta+\cos^2\Theta)

= -x^3-x+x = -x^3

Clearly, the determinant is independent of \Theta.

Question:2 Without expanding the determinant, prove that
\begin{vmatrix} a &a^2 &bc \\ b& b^2 &ca \\ c & c^2 &ab \end{vmatrix}= \begin{vmatrix} 1 &a^2 &a^3 \\ 1 &b^2 &b^3 \\ 1 & c^2 &c^3 \end{vmatrix}

Answer:

We have the

L.H.S. = \begin{vmatrix} a &a^2 &bc \\ b& b^2 &ca \\ c & c^2 &ab \end{vmatrix}

Multiplying rows with a, b, and c respectively.

R_{1} \rightarrow aR_{1}, R_{2} \rightarrow bR_{2},\ and\ R_{3} \rightarrow cR_{3}

we get;

= \frac{1}{abc} \begin{vmatrix} a^2 &a^3 &abc \\ b^2& b^3 &abc \\ c^2& c^3 & abc \end{vmatrix}

= \frac{1}{abc}.abc \begin{vmatrix} a^2 &a^3 & 1\\ b^2& b^3 &1 \\ c^2& c^3 & 1 \end{vmatrix} [after\ taking\ out\ abc\ from\ column\ 3].

= \begin{vmatrix} a^2 &a^3 & 1\\ b^2& b^3 &1 \\ c^2& c^3 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = \begin{vmatrix} 1&a^2 & a^3\\ 1& b^2 &b^3 \\ 1& c^2 & c^3 \end{vmatrix} [Applying\ C_{1}\leftrightarrow C_{3}\ and\ C_{2} \leftrightarrow C_{3}]

= R.H.S.

Hence proved. L.H.S. =R.H.S.

Question:3 Evaluate \begin{vmatrix} \cos \alpha \cos \beta & \cos \alpha \sin \beta &-\sin \alpha \\ -\sin \beta & \cos \beta &0 \\ \sin \alpha \cos \beta &\sin \alpha \sin \beta & \cos \alpha \end{vmatrix}.

Answer:

Given determinant \begin{vmatrix} \cos \alpha \cos \beta & \cos \alpha \sin \beta &-\sin \alpha \\ -\sin \beta & \cos \beta &0 \\ \sin \alpha \cos \beta &\sin \alpha \sin \beta & \cos \alpha \end{vmatrix};

= \cos \alpha \cos \beta \begin{vmatrix} \cos \beta &0 \\ \sin \alpha \sin \beta & \cos \alpha \end{vmatrix} - \cos \alpha \sin \beta \begin{vmatrix} -\sin \beta & 0 \\ \sin \alpha \cos \beta & \cos \alpha \end{vmatrix} -\sin \alpha \begin{vmatrix} -\sin \beta &\cos \beta \\ \sin \alpha \cos \beta& \sin \alpha \sin \beta \end{vmatrix}= \cos \alpha \cos \beta (\cos \beta \cos \alpha -0 )- \cos \alpha \sin \beta (-\cos \alpha\sin \beta- 0) -\sin \alpha (-\sin \alpha\sin^2\beta - \sin \alpha \cos^2 \beta)

= \cos^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta + \cos^2 \alpha \sin^2 \beta +\sin^2 \alpha \sin^2\beta + \sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta

= \cos^2 \alpha(\cos^2 \beta+\sin^2 \beta) +\sin^2 \alpha(\sin^2\beta+\cos^2 \beta)

= \cos^2 \alpha(1) +\sin^2 \alpha(1) = 1.

Question:4 If a,b and c are real numbers, and

\Delta =\begin{vmatrix} b+c & c+a &a+b \\ c+a &a+b &b+c \\ a+b & b+c & c+a \end{vmatrix}=0

Show that either a+b+c=0 or a=b=c

Answer:

We have given \Delta =\begin{vmatrix} b+c & c+a &a+b \\ c+a &a+b &b+c \\ a+b & b+c & c+a \end{vmatrix}=0

Applying the row transformations; R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1} +R_{2} +R_{3} we have;

\Delta =\begin{vmatrix} 2(a+b+c) & 2(a+b+c) &2(a+b+c) \\ c+a &a+b &b+c \\ a+b & b+c & c+a \end{vmatrix}

Taking out common factor 2(a+b+c) from the first row;

\Delta =2(a+b+c)\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 &1 \\ c+a &a+b &b+c \\ a+b & b+c & c+a \end{vmatrix}

Now, applying the column transformations; C_{1}\rightarrow C_{1} - C_{2}\ and\ C_{2} \rightarrow C_{2}- C_{3}

we have;

=2(a+b+c)\begin{vmatrix} 0 & 0 &1 \\ c-b &a-c &b+c \\ a-c & b-a & c+a \end{vmatrix}

=2(a+b+c)[(c-b)(b-a)-(a-c)^2]

=2(a+b+c)[ab+bc+ca-a^2-b^2-c^2]

and given that the determinant is equal to zero. i.e., \triangle = 0;

(a+b+c)[ab+bc+ca-a^2-b^2-c^2] = 0

So, either (a+b+c) = 0 or [ab+bc+ca-a^2-b^2-c^2] = 0.

we can write [ab+bc+ca-a^2-b^2-c^2] = 0 as;

\Rightarrow -2ab-2bc-2ca+2a^2+2b^2+2c^2 =0

\Rightarrow (a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2 =0

\because (a-b)^2,(b-c)^2,\ and\ (c-a)^2 are non-negative.

Hence (a-b)^2= (b-c)^2=(c-a)^2 = 0.

we get then a=b=c

Therefore, if given \triangle = 0 then either (a+b+c) = 0 or a=b=c.

Question:5 Solve the equation

\begin{vmatrix} x+a & x &x \\ x &x+a &x\\ x & x & x+a \end{vmatrix}=0; a\neq 0

Answer:

Given determinant \begin{vmatrix} x+a & x &x \\ x &x+a &x\\ x & x & x+a \end{vmatrix}=0; a\neq 0

Applying the row transformation; R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}+R_{2}+R_{3} we have;

\begin{vmatrix} 3x+a & 3x+a &3x+a \\ x &x+a &x\\ x & x & x+a \end{vmatrix} =0

Taking common factor (3x+a) out from first row.

(3x+a)\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 &1 \\ x &x+a &x\\ x & x & x+a \end{vmatrix} =0

Now applying the column transformations; C_{1} \rightarrow C_{1}-C_{2} and C_{2} \rightarrow C_{2}-C_{3}.

we get;

(3x+a)\begin{vmatrix} 0 & 0 &1 \\ -a &a &x\\ 0 & -a & x+a \end{vmatrix} =0

=(3x+a)(a^2)=0 as a^2 \neq 0,

or 3x+a=0 or x= -\frac{a}{3}

Question:6 Prove that \begin{vmatrix} a^2 &bc &ac+a^2 \\ a^2+ab & b^2 & ac\\ ab &b^2+bc &c^2 \end{vmatrix}=4a^2b^2c^2.

Answer:

Given matrix \begin{vmatrix} a^2 &bc &ac+a^2 \\ a^2+ab & b^2 & ac\\ ab &b^2+bc &c^2 \end{vmatrix}

Taking common factors a,b and c from the column C_{1}, C_{2}, and\ C_{3} respectively.

we have;

\triangle = abc\begin{vmatrix} a &c &a+c \\ a+b & b & a\\ b &b+c &c \end{vmatrix}

Applying R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-R_{1}\ and\ R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3} - R_{1}, we have;

\triangle = abc\begin{vmatrix} a &c &a+c \\ b & b-c &-c\\ b-a &b &-a \end{vmatrix}

Then applying R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}+R_{1} , we get;

\triangle = abc\begin{vmatrix} a &c &a+c \\ a+b & b &a\\ b-a &b &-a \end{vmatrix}

Applying R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3}+R_{2}, we have;

\triangle = abc\begin{vmatrix} a &c &a+c \\ a+b & b &a\\ 2b &2b &0 \end{vmatrix} = 2ab^2c\begin{vmatrix} a &c &a+c \\ a+b & b &a\\ 1 &1 &0 \end{vmatrix}

Now, applying column transformation; C_{2} \rightarrow C_{2 }-C_{1}, we have

\triangle = 2ab^2c\begin{vmatrix} a &c-a &a+c \\ a+b & -a &a\\ 1 &0 &0 \end{vmatrix}

So we can now expand the remaining determinant along R_{3} we have;

\triangle = 2ab^2c\left [ a(c-a)+a(a+c) \right ]

= 2ab^2c\left [ ac-a^2+a^2+ac) \right ] = 2ab^2c\left [ 2ac \right ]

= 4a^2b^2c^2

Hence proved.

Question:7 If A^-^1=\begin{bmatrix} 3 &-1 &1 \\ -15 &6 &-5 \\ 5 &-2 &2 \end{bmatrix} and B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &-2 \\ -1&3 &0 \\ 0 &-2 &1 \end{bmatrix}, find (AB)^-^1.

Answer:

We know from the identity that;

(AB)^{-1} = B^{-1}A^{-1}.

Then we can find easily,

Given A^-^1=\begin{bmatrix} 3 &-1 &1 \\ -15 &6 &-5 \\ 5 &-2 &2 \end{bmatrix} and B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &-2 \\ -1&3 &0 \\ 0 &-2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

Then we have to basically find the B^{-1} matrix.


So, Given matrix B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &-2 \\ -1&3 &0 \\ 0 &-2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

|B| = 1(3-0) -2(-1-0)-2(2-0) = 3+2-4 = 1 \neq 0

Hence its inverse B^{-1} exists;

Now, as we know that

B^{-1} = \frac{1}{|B|} adjB

So, calculating cofactors of B,

B_{11} = (-1)^{1+1}(3-0) = 3 B_{12} = (-1)^{1+2}(-1-0) = 1

B_{13} = (-1)^{1+3}(2-0) = 2 B_{21} = (-1)^{2+1}(2-4) = 2

B_{22} = (-1)^{2+2}(1-0) = 1 B_{23} = (-1)^{2+3}(-2-0) = 2

B_{31} = (-1)^{3+1}(0+6) = 6 B_{32} = (-1)^{3+2}(0-2) = 2

B_{33} = (-1)^{3+3}(3+2) = 5

adjB = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &2 &6 \\ 1& 1& 2\\ 2& 2& 5 \end{bmatrix}

B^{-1} = \frac{1}{|B|} adjB = \frac{1}{1} \begin{bmatrix} 3 &2 &6 \\ 1& 1& 2\\ 2& 2& 5 \end{bmatrix}

Now, We have both A^{-1} as well as B^{-1} ;

Putting in the relation we know; (AB)^{-1} = B^{-1}A^{-1}

(AB)^{-1}=\frac{1}{1} \begin{bmatrix} 3 &2 &6 \\ 1& 1& 2\\ 2& 2& 5 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 3 &-1 &1 \\ -15 &6 &-5 \\ 5 &-2 &2 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 9-30+30 &-3+12-12 &3-10+12 \\ 3-15+10&-1+6-4 &1-5+4 \\ 6-30+25 &-2+12-10 &2-10+10 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 9 &-3 &5 \\ -2&1 &0 \\ 1 &0 &2\end{bmatrix}

Question:8(i) Let A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2 &3 &1 \\ 1 & 1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}. Verify that,

\dpi{100} [adj A]^-^1 = adj (A^-^1)

Answer:

Given that A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2 &3 &1 \\ 1 & 1 & 5 \end{bmatrix};

So, let us assume that A^{-1} = B matrix and adjA = C then;

|A| = 1(15-1) -2(10-1) +1(2-3) = 14-18-1 = -5 \neq 0

Hence its inverse exists;

A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|} adjA or B = \frac{1}{|A|}C;

so, we now calculate the value of adjA

Cofactors of A;

A_{11}= (-1)^{1+1}(15-1) = 14 A_{12}= (-1)^{1+2}(10-1) = -9

A_{13}= (-1)^{1+3}(2-3) = -1 A_{21}= (-1)^{2+1}(10-1) = -9

A_{22}= (-1)^{2+2}(5-1) = 4 A_{23}= (-1)^{2+3}(1-2) = 1

A_{31}= (-1)^{3+1}(2-3) = -1 A_{32}= (-1)^{3+2}(1-2) = 1

A_{33}= (-1)^{3+3}(3-4) = -1

\Rightarrow adjA =C= \begin{bmatrix} 14 &-9 &-1 \\ -9& 4& 1\\ -1& 1 &-1 \end{bmatrix}

A^{-1} =B= \frac{1}{|A|} adjA = \frac{1}{-5}\begin{bmatrix} 14 &-9 &-1 \\ -9& 4& 1\\ -1& 1 &-1 \end{bmatrix}

Finding the inverse of C;

|C| = 14(-4-1)+9(9+1)-1(-9+4) = -70+90+5 = 25 \neq 0

Hence its inverse exists;

C^{-1} = \frac{1}{|C|}adj C

Now, finding the adjC;

C_{11}= (-1)^{1+1}(-4-1) = -5 C_{12}= (-1)^{1+2}(9+1) = -10

C_{13}= (-1)^{1+3}(-9+4) = -5 C_{21}= (-1)^{2+1}(9+1) = -10

C_{22}= (-1)^{2+2}(-14-1) = -15 C_{23}= (-1)^{2+3}(14-9) = -5

C_{31}= (-1)^{3+1}(-9+4) = -5 C_{32}= (-1)^{3+2}(14-9) = -5

C_{33}= (-1)^{3+3}(56-81) = -25

adjC = \begin{bmatrix} -5 &-10 &-5 \\ -10& -15 & -5\\ -5& -5& -25 \end{bmatrix}

C^{-1} = \frac{1}{|C|}adjC = \frac{1}{25}\begin{bmatrix} -5 &-10 &-5 \\ -10& -15 & -5\\ -5& -5& -25 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -\frac{1}{5} && -\frac{2}{5} &&-\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ -\frac{2}{5}&& -\frac{3}{5} && -\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ -\frac{1}{5} && -\frac{1}{5} && -1 \end{bmatrix}

or L.H.S. = C^{-1} = [adjA]^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} -\frac{1}{5} && -\frac{2}{5} &&-\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ -\frac{2}{5}&& -\frac{3}{5} && -\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ -\frac{1}{5} && -\frac{1}{5} && -1 \end{bmatrix}

Now, finding the R.H.S.

adj (A^{-1}) = adj B

A^{-1} =B= \begin{bmatrix} \frac{-14}{5} &&\frac{9}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{9}{5}&& \frac{-4}{5}&& \frac{-1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{1}{5}&& \frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{1}{5}\end{bmatrix}

Cofactors of B;

B_{11}= (-1)^{1+1}(\frac{-4}{25}-\frac{1}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{12}= (-1)^{1+2}(\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{25}) =- \frac{2}{5}

B_{13}= (-1)^{1+3}(\frac{-9}{25}+\frac{4}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{21}= (-1)^{2+1}(\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{25}) = -\frac{2}{5}

B_{22}= (-1)^{2+2}(\frac{-14}{25}-\frac{1}{25}) = \frac{-3}{5}

B_{23}= (-1)^{2+3}(\frac{14}{25}-\frac{9}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{31}= (-1)^{3+1}(\frac{-9}{25}+\frac{4}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{32}= (-1)^{3+2}(\frac{14}{25}-\frac{9}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{33}= (-1)^{3+3}(\frac{56}{25}-\frac{81}{25}) = -1

R.H.S. = adjB = adj(A^{-1}) =\begin{bmatrix} -\frac{1}{5} && -\frac{2}{5} &&-\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ -\frac{2}{5}&& -\frac{3}{5} && -\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ -\frac{1}{5} && -\frac{1}{5} && -1 \end{bmatrix}


Hence L.H.S. = R.H.S. proved.

Question:8(ii) Let A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2 & 3 &1 \\ 1 & 1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}, Verify that

(A^-^1)^-^1=A

Answer:

Given that A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2 &3 &1 \\ 1 & 1 & 5 \end{bmatrix};

So, let us assume that A^{-1} = B

|A| = 1(15-1) -2(10-1) +1(2-3) = 14-18-1 = -5 \neq 0

Hence its inverse exists;

A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|} adjA or B = \frac{1}{|A|}C;

so, we now calculate the value of adjA

Cofactors of A;

A_{11}= (-1)^{1+1}(15-1) = 14 A_{12}= (-1)^{1+2}(10-1) = -9

A_{13}= (-1)^{1+3}(2-3) = -1 A_{21}= (-1)^{2+1}(10-1) = -9

A_{22}= (-1)^{2+2}(5-1) = 4 A_{23}= (-1)^{2+3}(1-2) = 1

A_{31}= (-1)^{3+1}(2-3) = -1 A_{32}= (-1)^{3+2}(1-2) = 1

A_{33}= (-1)^{3+3}(3-4) = -1

\Rightarrow adjA =C= \begin{bmatrix} 14 &-9 &-1 \\ -9& 4& 1\\ -1& 1 &-1 \end{bmatrix}

A^{-1} =B= \frac{1}{|A|} adjA = \frac{1}{-5}\begin{bmatrix} 14 &-9 &-1 \\ -9& 4& 1\\ -1& 1 &-1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{-14}{5} &&\frac{9}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{9}{5} && \frac{-4}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{1}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \end{bmatrix}

Finding the inverse of B ;

|B| = \frac{-14}{5}(\frac{-4}{25}-\frac{1}{25})-\frac{9}{5}(\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{25})+\frac{1}{5}(\frac{-9}{25}+\frac{4}{25})

= \frac{70}{125}-\frac{90}{125}-\frac{5}{125} = \frac{-25}{125} = \frac{-1}{5} \neq 0

Hence its inverse exists;

B^{-1} = \frac{1}{|B|}adj B

Now, finding the adjB;

A^{-1} =B= \frac{1}{|A|} adjA = \frac{1}{-5}\begin{bmatrix} 14 &-9 &-1 \\ -9& 4& 1\\ -1& 1 &-1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{-14}{5} &&\frac{9}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{9}{5} && \frac{-4}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{1}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \end{bmatrix}

B_{11}= (-1)^{1+1}(\frac{-4}{25}-\frac{1}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5} B_{12}= (-1)^{1+2}(\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{25}) = \frac{-2}{5}

B_{13}= (-1)^{1+3}(\frac{-9}{25}+\frac{4}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5} B_{21}= (-1)^{2+1}(\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{25}) = -\frac{2}{5}

B_{22}= (-1)^{2+2}(\frac{-14}{25}-\frac{1}{25}) = \frac{-3}{5} B_{23}= (-1)^{2+3}(\frac{14}{25}-\frac{9}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{31}= (-1)^{3+1}(\frac{-9}{25}+\frac{4}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{32}= (-1)^{3+2}(\frac{14}{25}-\frac{9}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{33}= (-1)^{3+3}(\frac{56}{25}-\frac{81}{25}) = \frac{-25}{25} =-1

adjB = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{-2}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} \\ \\\frac{-2}{5}&& \frac{-3}{5} && \frac{-1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{-1}{5}&& \frac{-1}{5}&& -1 \end{bmatrix}

B^{-1} = \frac{1}{|B|}adjB = \frac{-5}{1}\begin{bmatrix} \frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{-2}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} \\ \\\frac{-2}{5}&& \frac{-3}{5} && \frac{-1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{-1}{5}&& \frac{-1}{5}&& -1 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2& 3& 1\\ 1 & 1 &5 \end{bmatrix}

L.H.S. = B^{-1} = (A^{-1})^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2& 3& 1\\ 1 & 1 &5 \end{bmatrix}

R.H.S. = A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2& 3& 1\\ 1& 1 &5 \end{bmatrix}

Hence proved L.H.S. =R.H.S..

Question:9 Evaluate \begin{vmatrix} x & y &x+y \\ y & x+y &x \\ x+y & x & y \end{vmatrix}

Answer:

We have determinant \triangle = \begin{vmatrix} x & y &x+y \\ y & x+y &x \\ x+y & x & y \end{vmatrix}

Applying row transformations; R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}+R_{2}+R_{3} , we have then;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 2(x+y) & 2(x+y) &2(x+y) \\ y & x+y &x \\ x+y & x & y \end{vmatrix}

Taking out the common factor 2(x+y) from the row first.

= 2(x+y)\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 &1 \\ y & x+y &x \\ x+y & x & y \end{vmatrix}

Now, applying the column transformation; C_{1} \rightarrow C_{1} - C_{2} and C_{2} \rightarrow C_{2} - C_{1} we have ;

= 2(x+y)\begin{vmatrix} 0 & 0 &1 \\ -x & y &x \\ y & x-y & y \end{vmatrix}

Expanding the remaining determinant;

= 2(x+y)(-x(x-y)-y^2) = 2(x+y)[-x^2+xy-y^2]

= -2(x+y)[x^2-xy+y^2] = -2(x^3+y^3).

Question:10 Evaluate \begin{vmatrix} 1 & x &y \\ 1 &x+y &y \\ 1 &x &x+y \end{vmatrix}

Answer:

We have determinant \triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & x &y \\ 1 &x+y &y \\ 1 &x &x+y \end{vmatrix}

Applying row transformations; R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}-R_{2} and R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-R_{3} then we have then;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 0 & -y &0 \\ 0 &y &-x \\ 1 &x &x+y \end{vmatrix}

Taking out the common factor -y from the row first.

\triangle = -y\begin{vmatrix} 0 & 1 &0 \\ 0 &y &-x \\ 1 &x &x+y \end{vmatrix}

Expanding the remaining determinant;

-y[1(-x-o)] = xy

Question:11 Using properties of determinants, prove that

\begin{vmatrix} \alpha & \alpha ^2 &\beta +\gamma \\ \beta & \beta ^2 &\gamma +\alpha \\ \gamma &\gamma ^2 &\alpha +\beta \end{vmatrix}=(\beta -\gamma )(\gamma -\alpha )(\alpha -\beta )(\alpha +\beta +\gamma )

Answer:

Given determinant \triangle = \begin{vmatrix} \alpha & \alpha ^2 &\beta +\gamma \\ \beta & \beta ^2 &\gamma +\alpha \\ \gamma &\gamma ^2 &\alpha +\beta \end{vmatrix}

Applying Row transformations; and R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3}-R_{1}, then we have;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} \alpha & \alpha ^2 &\beta +\gamma \\ \beta -\alpha & \beta ^2 - \alpha^2 &\alpha - \beta \\ \gamma-\alpha &\gamma ^2-\alpha^2 &\alpha -\gamma \end{vmatrix}

= (\beta-\alpha)(\gamma-\alpha)\begin{vmatrix} \alpha & \alpha ^2 &\beta +\gamma \\ 1 & \beta + \alpha &-1 \\ 0 &\gamma-\beta &0\end{vmatrix}

Expanding the remaining determinant;

= (\beta-\alpha)(\gamma-\alpha)[-(\gamma-\beta)(-\alpha-\beta-\gamma)]

= (\beta-\alpha)(\gamma-\alpha)(\gamma-\beta)(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)

=(\alpha-\beta)(\beta-\gamma)(\gamma-\alpha)(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)

hence the given result is proved.

Question:12 Using properties of determinants, prove that

\begin{vmatrix} x & x^2&1+px^3 \\ y& y^2& 1+py^3\\ z&z^2 & 1+pz^3 \end{vmatrix}=(1+pxyz)(x-y)(y-z)(z-x), where p is any scalar.

Answer:

Given the determinant \triangle = \begin{vmatrix} x & x^2&1+px^3 \\ y& y^2& 1+py^3\\ z&z^2 & 1+pz^3 \end{vmatrix}

Applying the row transformations; R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2} - R_{1} and R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3} - R_{1} then we have;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} x & x^2&1+px^3 \\ y-x& y^2-x^2& p(y^3-x^3)\\ z-x&z^2-x^2 & p(z^3-x^3) \end{vmatrix}

Applying row transformation R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3} - R_{2} we have then;

\triangle =(y-x )(z-x)(z-y)\begin{vmatrix} x & x^2&1+px^3 \\ 1& y+x& p(y^2+x^2+xy)\\ 0&1 & p(x+y+z) \end{vmatrix}

Now we can expand the remaining determinant to get the result;

\triangle =(y-x )(z-x)(z-y)[(-1)(p)(xy^2+x^3+x^2y)+1+px^3+p(x+y+z)(xy)]

=(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)[-pxy^2-px^3-px^2y+1+px^3+px^2y+pxy^2+pxyz]

=(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)(1+pxyz)

hence the given result is proved.

Question:13 Using properties of determinants, prove that

\begin{vmatrix} 3a &-a+b &-a+c \\ -b+c &3b &-b+c \\ -c+a &-c+b &3c \end{vmatrix}=3(a+b+c)(ab+bc+ca)

Answer:

Given determinant \triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 3a &-a+b &-a+c \\ -b+c &3b &-b+c \\ -c+a &-c+b &3c \end{vmatrix}

Applying the column transformation, C_{1} \rightarrow C_{1} +C_{2}+C_{3} we have then;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} a+b+c &-a+b &-a+c \\ a+b+c &3b &-b+c \\ a+b+c &-c+b &3c \end{vmatrix}

Taking common factor (a+b+c) out from the column first;

=(a+b+c) \begin{vmatrix} 1 &-a+b &-a+c \\ 1 &3b &-b+c \\1 &-c+b &3c \end{vmatrix}

Applying R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-R_{1} and R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3}-R_{1}, we have then;

\triangle=(a+b+c) \begin{vmatrix} 1 &-a+b &-a+c \\ 0 &2b+a &a-b \\0 &a-c &2c+a \end{vmatrix}

Now we can expand the remaining determinant along C_{1} we have;

\triangle=(a+b+c) [(2b+a)(2c+a)-(a-b)(a-c)]

=(a+b+c) [4bc+2ab+2ac+a^2-a^2+ac+ba-bc]

=(a+b+c)(3ab+3bc+3ac)

=3(a+b+c)(ab+bc+ac)

Hence proved.

Question:14 Using properties of determinants, prove that

\begin{vmatrix} 1 &1+p &1+p+q \\ 2&3+2p &4+3p+2q \\ 3&6+3p & 10+6p+3q \end{vmatrix}=1

Answer:

Given determinant \triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 1 &1+p &1+p+q \\ 2&3+2p &4+3p+2q \\ 3&6+3p & 10+6p+3q \end{vmatrix}

Applying the row transformation; R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-2R_{1} and R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3}-3R_{1} we have then;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 1 &1+p &1+p+q \\ 0&1 &2+p \\ 0&3 & 7+3p \end{vmatrix}

Now, applying another row transformation R_{3}\rightarrow R_{3}-3R_{2} we have;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 1 &1+p &1+p+q \\ 0&1 &2+p \\ 0&0 & 1 \end{vmatrix}

We can expand the remaining determinant along C_{1}, we have;

\triangle = 1\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2+p\\ 0 &1 \end{vmatrix} = 1(1-0) =1

Hence the result is proved.

Question:15 Using properties of determinants, prove that

\begin{vmatrix} \sin \alpha &\cos \alpha &\cos (\alpha +\delta ) \\ \sin \beta & \cos \beta & \cos (\beta +\delta )\\ \sin \gamma &\cos \gamma & \cos (\gamma +\delta ) \end{vmatrix}=0

Answer:

Given determinant \triangle = \begin{vmatrix} \sin \alpha &\cos \alpha &\cos (\alpha +\delta ) \\ \sin \beta & \cos \beta & \cos (\beta +\delta )\\ \sin \gamma &\cos \gamma & \cos (\gamma +\delta ) \end{vmatrix}

Multiplying the first column by \sin \delta and the second column by \cos \delta, and expanding the third column, we get

\triangle =\frac{1}{\sin \delta \cos \delta} \begin{vmatrix} \sin \alpha \sin \delta &\cos \alpha\cos \delta &\cos \alpha \cos \delta -\sin \alpha \sin \delta \\ \sin \beta\sin \delta & \cos \beta\cos \delta & \cos \beta \cos \delta - \sin \beta\sin \delta \\ \sin \gamma\sin \delta &\cos \gamma\cos \delta & \cos \gamma \cos\delta- \sin \gamma\sin \delta \end{vmatrix}

Applying column transformation, C_{1} \rightarrow C_{1}+C_{3} we have then;

\triangle =\frac{1}{\sin \delta \cos \delta} \begin{vmatrix} \cos \alpha \cos \delta &\cos \alpha\cos \delta &\cos \alpha \cos \delta -\sin \alpha \sin \delta \\ \cos \beta\cos \delta & \cos \beta\cos \delta & \cos \beta \cos \delta - \sin \beta\sin \delta \\ \cos \gamma\cos \delta &\cos \gamma\cos \delta & \cos \gamma \cos\delta- \sin \gamma\sin \delta \end{vmatrix}

Here we can see that two columns C_{1}\ and\ C_{2} are identical.

The determinant value is equal to zero. \therefore \triangle = 0

Hence proved.

Question:16 Solve the system of equations

\frac{2}{x}+\frac{3}{y}+\frac{10}{z}=4

\frac{4}{x}-\frac{6}{y}+\frac{5}{z}=1

\frac{6}{x}+\frac{9}{y}-\frac{20}{z}=2

Answer:

We have a system of equations;

\frac{2}{x}+\frac{3}{y}+\frac{10}{z}=4

\frac{4}{x}-\frac{6}{y}+\frac{5}{z}=1

\frac{6}{x}+\frac{9}{y}-\frac{20}{z}=2

So, we will convert the given system of equations in a simple form to solve the problem by the matrix method;

Let us take, \frac{1}{x} = a, \frac{1}{y} = b\ and\ \frac{1}{z} = c

Then we have the equations;

2a +3b+10c = 4

4a-6b+5c =1

6a+9b-20c = 2

We can write it in the matrix form as AX =B , where

A= \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 &10 \\ 4& -6 & 5\\ 6 & 9 & -20 \end{bmatrix} , X = \begin{bmatrix} a\\b \\c \end{bmatrix}\ and\ B = \begin{bmatrix} 4\\1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}.

Now, Finding the determinant value of A;

|A| = 2(120-45)-3(-80-30)+10(36+36)

=150+330+720

=1200 \neq 0

Hence we can say that A is non-singular \therefore its invers exists;

Finding cofactors of A;

A_{11} = 75 , A_{12} = 110, A_{13} = 72

A_{21} = 150, A_{22} = -100, A_{23} = 0

A_{31} =75, A_{31} =30, A_{33} =-24

\therefore as we know A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|}adjA

= \frac{1}{1200} \begin{bmatrix} 75 &150 &75 \\ 110& -100& 30\\ 72&0 &-24 \end{bmatrix}

Now we will find the solutions by relation X = A^{-1}B.

\Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix} a\\b \\ c \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{1200} \begin{bmatrix} 75 &150 &75 \\ 110& -100& 30\\ 72&0 &-24 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 4\\1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}

= \frac{1}{1200}\begin{bmatrix} 300+150+150\\440-100+60 \\ 288+0-48 \end{bmatrix}

= \frac{1}{1200}\begin{bmatrix} 600\\400\\ 240 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2}\\ \\ \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{1}{5} \end{bmatrix}

Therefore we have the solutions a = \frac{1}{2},\ b= \frac{1}{3},\ and\ c = \frac{1}{5}.

Or in terms of x, y, and z;

x =2,\ y =3,\ and\ z = 5

Question:17 Choose the correct answer.

If a,b,c, are in A.P, then the determinant
\dpi{100} \begin{vmatrix} x+2 &x+3 &x+2a \\ x+3 & x+4 & x+2b\\ x+4 & x+5 &x+2c \end{vmatrix}is

(A) 0 (B) 1 (C) x (D) 2x

Answer:

Given determinant \triangle = \begin{vmatrix} x+2 &x+3 &x+2a \\ x+3 & x+4 & x+2b\\ x+4 & x+5 &x+2c \end{vmatrix}and given that a, b, c are in A.P.

That means , 2b =a+c

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} x+2 &x+3 &x+2a \\ x+3 & x+4 & x+(a+c)\\ x+4 & x+5 &x+2c \end{vmatrix}

Applying the row transformations, R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1} -R_{2} and then R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3} -R_{2} we have;

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} -1 &-1 &a-c \\ x+3 & x+4 & x+(a+c)\\ 1 & 1 &c-a \end{vmatrix}

Now, applying another row transformation, R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1} + R_{3}, we have

\triangle = \begin{vmatrix} 0 &0 &0 \\ x+3 & x+4 & x+(a+c)\\ 1 & 1 &c-a \end{vmatrix}

Clearly we have the determinant value equal to zero;

Hence the option (A) is correct.

Question:18 Choose the correct answer.

If x, y, z are nonzero real numbers, then the inverse of matrix A=\begin{bmatrix} x &0 &0 \\ 0 &y &0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \end{bmatrix} is


(A)\begin{bmatrix} x^-^1 &0 &0 \\ 0 &y^-^1 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & z^-^1 \end{bmatrix} (B)xyz\begin{bmatrix} x^-^1 &0 &0 \\ 0 &y^-^1 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & z^-^1 \end{bmatrix}


(C)\frac{1}{xyz}\begin{bmatrix} x &0 &0 \\ 0 &y &0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \end{bmatrix} (D)\frac{1}{xyz}\begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 &0 \\ 0 &1 &0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

Given Matrix A=\begin{bmatrix} x &0 &0 \\ 0 &y &0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \end{bmatrix},

|A| = x(yz-0) =xyz

As we know,

A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|}adjA

So, we will find the adjA,

Determining its cofactor first,

A_{11} = yz A_{12} = 0 A_{13} = 0

A_{21} = 0 A_{22} = xz A_{23} = 0

A_{31} = 0 A_{32} = 0 A_{33} = xy

Hence A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|}adjA = \frac{1}{xyz}\begin{bmatrix} yz &0 &0 \\ 0& xz & 0\\ 0& 0& xy \end{bmatrix}

A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{x} &&0 &&0 \\ 0&& \frac{1}{y} && 0\\ 0&& 0&& \frac{1}{z} \end{bmatrix}

Therefore the correct answer is (A)

Question:19 Choose the correct answer.

Let A=\begin{vmatrix} 1 &\sin \theta &1 \\ -\sin \theta & 1 & \sin \theta \\ -1&-\sin \theta &1 \end{vmatrix}, where 0\leq \theta \leq 2\pi. Then

(A)Det(A)=0 nbsp; (B) Det(A)\in (2,\infty)

(C) Det(A)\in (2,4) (D)Det(A)\in [2,4]

Answer:

Given determinant A=\begin{vmatrix} 1 &\sin \theta &1 \\ -\sin \theta & 1 & \sin \theta \\ -1&-\sin \theta &1 \end{vmatrix}

|A| = 1(1+\sin^2 \Theta) -\sin \Theta(-\sin \Theta+\sin \Theta)+1(\sin^2 \Theta +1)

= 1+ \sin ^2 \Theta + \sin ^2 \Theta +1

= 2+2\sin ^2 \Theta = 2(1+\sin^2 \Theta)

Now, given the range of \Theta from 0\leq \Theta \leq 2\pi

\Rightarrow 0 \leq \sin \Theta \leq 1

\Rightarrow 0 \leq \sin^2 \Theta \leq 1

\Rightarrow 1 \leq 1+\sin^2 \Theta \leq 2

\Rightarrow 2 \leq 2(1+\sin^2 \Theta) \leq 4

Therefore the |A|\ \epsilon\ [2,4].

Hence the correct answer is D.
