Question
If $A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}\cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha\end{array}\right]$, then for what value of $\alpha, A$ is an identity matrix?

Answer

(a) : $A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}\cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha\end{array}\right]$ is an identity matrix if, $\left[\begin{array}{rr}\cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]$
$\therefore \cos \alpha=1$ and $\sin \alpha=0 \Rightarrow \alpha=0^{\circ}$.
