$\text{and G }(\beta)=\begin{bmatrix} \cos\beta & 0 & \sin\beta \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ -\sin\beta & 0 & \cos\beta \end{bmatrix}$
Show that
$\big[\text{F}(\alpha)\text{G}(\beta)\big]^{-1}=\text{G}(-\beta)\text{F}(-\alpha).$

Answer

$\text{F}(\alpha)=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha & 0 \\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}\ .....\text{(i)}$
$\text{G}(\beta)=\begin{bmatrix} \cos\beta & 0 & \sin\beta \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ -\sin\beta & 0 & \cos\beta \end{bmatrix}\ .....\text{(ii)}$
$\text{F}(\alpha)=\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha & 0 \\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{F}(-\alpha)=\begin{bmatrix} \cos(-\alpha) & -\sin(-\alpha) & 0 \\ \sin(-\alpha) & \cos(-\alpha) & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha & 0 \\ -\sin\alpha & \cos\alpha & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\ .....(\text{iii})$
$\text{G }(\beta)=\begin{bmatrix} \cos\beta & 0 & \sin\beta \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ -\sin\beta & 0 & \cos\beta \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{G}(-\beta)=\begin{bmatrix} \cos(-\beta) & 0 & \sin(-\beta) \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ -\sin(-\beta) & 0 & \cos(-\beta) \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix} \cos\beta & 0 & - \sin\beta \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \sin\beta & 0 & \cos\beta \end{bmatrix}\ .....\text{(iv)}$
$\big[\text{F}(\alpha)\text{G}(\beta)\big]^{-1}=\big[\text{G}(\beta)\big]^{-1}\big[\text{F}(\alpha)\big]^{-1}$
$\begin{bmatrix} \cos\beta & 0 & -\sin\beta \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \sin\beta & 0 & \cos\beta \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\alpha & \sin\alpha & 0 \\ -\sin\alpha & \cos\alpha & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}$
$[\text{Using eqn (i) and (ii)}]$
$=\text{G}(-\beta)\text{F}(-\alpha)\ [\text{Using eqn (iii) and (iv)}]$

There are three coins. One is a two-headed coin (having head on both faces), another is a biased coin that comes up heads $75\%$ of the times and third is also a biased coin that comes up tails $40\%$ of the times. One of the three coins is chosen at random and tossed, and it shows heads. What is the probability that it was the two-headed coin?
