Question
Check whether the following matrices are invertible or not. : $\left[\begin{array}{rr}\cos \theta & \sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & \cos \theta\end{array}\right]$

Answer

Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}\cos \theta & \sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & \cos \theta\end{array}\right]$
Then, $|\mathrm{A}|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}\sec \theta & \tan \theta \\ \tan \theta & \sec \theta\end{array}\right|$
$= sec^2\theta – \tan^2\theta = 1 \neq 0.$
$\therefore $ A is a non-singular matrix.
Hence, $A^{-1}$​​​​​​​ exist.
