Question
If w is a complex cube root of unity, show that.
$\begin{pmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&w&w^2\\w&w^2&1\\w^2&1&w\end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix}w&w^2&1\\w^2&1&w\\w&w^2&1\end{bmatrix}\end{pmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1\\w\\w^2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\0\end{bmatrix}$

Answer

Here,
$\text{LHS}=\begin{pmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&w&w^2\\w&w^2&1\\w^2&1&w\end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix}w&w^2&1\\w^2&1&w\\w&w^2&1\end{bmatrix}\end{pmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1\\w\\w^2\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}1+w&w+w^2&w^2+1\\w+w^2&w^2+1&1+w\\w^2+w&1+w^2&w+1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1\\w\\w^2\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}-w^2&-1&-w\\-1&-w&-w^2\\-1&-w&-w^2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1\\w\\w^2\end{bmatrix}$ $\big(\because1+\text{w}+\text{w}^2=0\text{ and w}^3=1\big)$
$=\begin{bmatrix}-w^2-w-w^3\\-1-w^2-w^4\\-1-w^2-w^4\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}-w(1+w+w^2)\\-1-w^2-w^3w\\-1-w^2-w^3w\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}-w\times0\\-1-w^2-w\\-1-w^2-w\end{bmatrix}$ $\big(\because1+\text{w}+\text{w}^2=0\text{ and w}^3=1\big)$
$=\begin{bmatrix}0\\-0\\-0\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\0\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \begin{pmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&w&w^2\\w&w^2&1\\w^2&1&w\end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix}w&w^2&1\\w^2&1&w\\w&w^2&1\end{bmatrix}\end{pmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1\\w\\w^2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\0\end{bmatrix}$

Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets $1$ or $2$, she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of tails. If she gets $3, 4, 5$ or $6$, she tosses a coin once and notes whether a ‘head’ or ‘tail’ is obtained. If she obtained exactly one ‘tail’, what is the probability that she threw $3, 4, 5$ or $6$ with the die?

To raise money for an orphanage, students of three schools A, B and C organised an exhibition in their locality, where they sold paper bags, scrap-books and pastel sheets made by them using recycled paper, at the rate of 20, 15 and 5 per unit respectively. School A sold 25 paper bags, 12 scrap-books and 34 pastel sheets. School B sold 22 paper bags, 15 scrap-books and 28 pastel sheets while School C sold 26 paper bags, 18 scrap-books and 36 pastel sheets. Using matrices, find the total amount raised by each school.
By such exhibition, which values are generated in the students?
