Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2&-3&-5\\-1&4&5\\1&-3&-4\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}2&-2&-4\\-1&3&4\\1&-2&-3\end{bmatrix},$ show that AB = A and BA = B.

Answer

Given, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2&-3&-5\\-1&4&5\\1&-3&-4\end{bmatrix},\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}2&-2&-4\\-1&3&4\\1&-2&-3\end{bmatrix}$
$\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}2&-3&-5\\-1&4&5\\1&-3&-4\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&-2&-4\\-1&3&4\\1&-2&-3\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}4+3-5&-4-9+10&-8-12+15\\-2-4+5&2+12-10&4+16-15\\2+3-4&-2-9+18&-4-12+12\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}2&-3&-5\\-1&4&5\\1&-3&-4\end{bmatrix}$
$\text{AB}=\text{A}$
$\text{BA}=\begin{bmatrix}2&-2&-4\\-1&3&4\\1&-2&-3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&-3&-5\\-1&4&5\\1&-3&-4\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}4+2-4&-6-8+12&-10-10+16\\-2-3+4&3+12-12&5+15-16\\2+2-3&-3-8+9&-5-10+12\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}2&-2&-4\\-1&3&4\\1&-2&-3\end{bmatrix}$
$\text{BA}=\text{B}$

Water is being poured into a vessel in the form of an inverted right circular cone of semi vertical angle $45^{\circ} \mathrm{c}$ in such a way that the rate of change of volume at any moment is proporational to the area of the curved surfaces which is wet at that moment. Initially, the vessel is full to a height of $2 \mathrm{cms}$. And after 2 seconds the height becomes $10 \mathrm{~cm}$. Show that after 3.5 seconds from that start, the height of water will be $16 \mathrm{cms}$.
