Question 23 Marks
If $A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3 & -1 & 1 \\ -15 & 6 & -5 \\ 5 & -2 & 2\end{array}\right]$ and $B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 2 & -2 \\ -1 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right]$ find $( A B)^{-1}$
Answer
Given: ${A^{ - 1}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&{ - 1}&1 \\ { - 15}&6&{ - 5} \\ 5&{ - 2}&2 \end{array}} \right]$ and ${B^{ - 1}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&2&{ - 2} \\ { - 1}&3&0 \\ 0&{ - 2}&1 \end{array}} \right]$
Since$, (AB)^{-1} = B^{-1}A^{-1} [$Reversal law$] .....(i)$
Now $\left| B \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&2&{ - 2} \\ { - 1}&3&0 \\ 0&{ - 2}&1 \end{array}} \right|$
$= 1(3 - 0) - 2(-1 - 0) + (-2)(2 - 0) = 3 + 2 - 4 = 1 = \ne  0$
Therefore$, B^{-1}$ exists.
$\therefore B_{11} = 3, B_{12} = 1, B_{13} = 2$ and $B_{21} = 2, B_{22} = 1, B_{23} = 2$ and $B_{31} = 6, B_{22} = 2, B_{33} = 5$
$\therefore adj.B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&1&2 \\ 2&1&2 \\ 6&2&5 \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&2&6 \\ 1&1&2 \\ 2&2&5 \end{array}} \right]$
$\therefore {B^{ - 1}} = \frac{1}{{\left| B \right|}}\left( {adj.B} \right) = \frac{1}{1} $ $= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&2&6 \\ 1&1&2 \\ 2&2&5 \end{array}} \right]$
From eq. $(i), {\left( {AB} \right)^{ - 1}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&2&6 \\ 1&1&2 \\ 2&2&5 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&{ - 1}&1 \\ { - 15}&6&{ - 5} \\ 5&{ - 2}&2 \end{array}} \right]$
$\Rightarrow {\left( {AB} \right)^{ - 1}} $ $= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {9 - 30 + 30}&{ - 3 + 12 - 12}&{3 - 10 + 12} \\ {3 - 15 + 10}&{ - 1 + 6 - 4}&{1 - 5 + 4} \\ {6 - 30 + 25}&{ - 2 + 12 - 10}&{2 - 10 + 10} \end{array}} \right]$
$ = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 9&{ - 3}&5 \\ { - 2}&1&0 \\ 1&0&2 \end{array}} \right]$

Question 33 Marks
Evaluate: $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\cos \alpha \cos \beta & \cos \alpha \sin \beta & -\sin \alpha \\ -\sin \beta & \cos \beta & 0 \\ \sin \alpha \cos \beta & \sin \alpha \sin \beta & \cos \alpha\end{array}\right|$
Answer
Let $\Delta = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\cos \alpha \cos \beta }&{\cos \alpha \sin \beta }&{ - \sin \alpha } \\ { - \sin \beta }&{\cos \beta }&0 \\ {\sin \alpha \cos \beta }&{\sin \alpha \sin \beta }&{\cos \alpha } \end{array}} \right|$

Expanding along first row,

$= \cos \alpha \cos \beta \left( {\cos \alpha \cos \beta - 0} \right) $ $- \cos \alpha \sin \beta \left( { - \cos \alpha \sin \beta - 0} \right) $ $- \sin \alpha \left( { - \sin \alpha {{\sin }^2}\beta - \sin \alpha {{\cos }^2}\beta } \right)$

$= {\cos ^2}\alpha {\cos ^2}\beta + {\cos ^2}\alpha {\sin ^2}\beta $ $+ {\sin ^2}\alpha \left( {{{\sin }^2}\beta + {{\cos }^2}\beta } \right)$

$= {\cos ^2}\alpha \left( {{{\cos }^2}\beta + {{\sin }^2}\beta } \right)$ $ + {\sin ^2}\alpha \left( {{{\sin }^2}\beta + {{\cos }^2}\beta } \right)$

$= {\cos ^2}\alpha + {\sin ^2}\alpha$

Answer
Matrix form of given equations is AX = B

$\Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 4&{ - 3} \\ 3&{ - 5} \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3 \\ 7 \end{array}} \right]$

Here $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 4&{ - 3} \\ 3&{ - 5} \end{array}} \right],X = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right]$ and $B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3 \\ 7 \end{array}} \right]$

$\therefore \left| A \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 4&{ - 3} \\ 3&{ - 5} \end{array}} \right| $ = - 20 - (-9) = - 20 + 9 = - 11 $ \ne $ 0

Therefore, solution is unique and $X = {A^{ - 1}}B = \frac{1}{{\left| A \right|}}\left( {adj.A} \right)B$

$\Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right] = \frac{1}{{ - 11}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 5}&3 \\ { - 3}&4 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3 \\ 7 \end{array}} \right]$

$= \frac{1}{{ - 11}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 15 + 21} \\ { - 9 + 28} \end{array}} \right] = \frac{1}{{ - 11}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 6 \\ 9 \end{array}} \right]$

$= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{ - 6}}{{11}}} \\ {\frac{{ - 19}}{{11}}} \end{array}} \right]$

Therefore, $x = \frac{{ - 6}}{{11}}$ and $y = \frac{{ - 19}}{{11}}$

$\Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{ - 1} \\ 3&4 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 2} \\ 3 \end{array}} \right]$

Here $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{ - 1} \\ 3&4 \end{array}} \right],X = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right]$ and $B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 2} \\ 3 \end{array}} \right]$

$\therefore \left| A \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{ - 1} \\ 3&4 \end{array}} \right| $ = 8 - (-3) = 8 + 3 $= 11 \ne 0$

Therefore, solution is unique and $X = {A^{ - 1}}B = \frac{1}{{\left| A \right|}}\left( {adj.A} \right)B$

$\Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right] = \frac{1}{{11}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 4&1 \\ { - 3}&2 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 2} \\ 3 \end{array}} \right]$

$= \frac{1}{{11}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 8 + 3} \\ {6 + 6} \end{array}} \right] = \frac{1}{{11}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 5} \\ {12} \end{array}} \right]$

$= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{ - 5}}{{11}}} \\ {\frac{{12}}{{11}}} \end{array}} \right]$

Therefore, $x = \frac{{ - 5}}{{11}}$ and $y = \frac{{12}}{{11}}$

Here $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 5&2 \\ 7&3 \end{array}} \right],X = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right]$and $B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 4 \\ 5 \end{array}} \right]$

$\left| A \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 5&2 \\ 7&3 \end{array}} \right| = 15 - 14 = 1 \ne 0$

Therefore, solution is unique and $X = {A^{ - 1}}B = \frac{1}{{\left| A \right|}}\left( {adj.A} \right)B$

$ \Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right] = \frac{1}{1}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&{ - 2} \\ { - 7}&5 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 4 \\ 5 \end{array}} \right]$

Question 83 Marks
Solve the system of linear equation, using matrix method $5x + 2y = 3; 3x + 2y = 5$
Answer
Matrix form of given equations is $ AX = B$
$\Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 5\ \ 2 \\ 3\ \ 2 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3 \\ 5 \end{array}} \right]$
Here $A = \left[\begin{array}{ll} 5\ \ 2 \\ 3\ \ 2 \end{array}\right], X = \left[\begin{array}{l} x \\ y \end{array}\right]$ and $B = \left[\begin{array}{l} 3 \\ 5 \end{array}\right]$
$\therefore |A| = \left|\begin{array}{ll} 5\ \ 2 \\ 3\ \ 2 \end{array}\right| = 10 - 6 = 4 \ne 0$
Therefore, solution is unique and $X = A^{-1}B = \frac{1}{|A|} (\text{adj}\ A B)$
$ = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right] = \frac{1}{4}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&-2 \\ { - 3}5 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3 \\ 5 \end{array}} \right]$ 
$= \frac{1}{4}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {6 - 10} \\ { - 9 + 25} \end{array}} \right] = \frac{1}{4}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 4} \\ {16} \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 1} \\ 4 \end{array}} \right]$

Question 93 Marks
Find the inverse of the matrix (if it exists) given $\left[\begin{array}{ll}-1 & 5 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right]$
Answer
Let $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 1}&5 \\ { - 3}&2 \end{array}} \right]$
$\therefore \left| A \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 1}&5 \\ { - 3}&2 \end{array}} \right|= -2 - (-15) = -2 + 15 = 13 \ne 0$
$\therefore$ Matrix $A$ is non-singular and hence $A^{-1}$ exist.
Now $adj. A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{ - 5} \\ 3&{ - 1} \end{array}} \right]$And ${A^{ - 1}} = \frac{1}{{\left| A \right|}}adj.A = \frac{1}{{13}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{ - 5} \\ 3&{ - 1} \end{array}} \right]$

$\Rightarrow \left| A \right| = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1}&2 \\ 2&3&5 \\ { - 2}&0&1 \end{array}} \right]$

${A_{11}} = + \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&5 \\ 0&1 \end{array}} \right| = 3$

${A_{12}} = - \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&5 \\ { - 2}&1 \end{array}} \right| = - \left( {2 + 10} \right) = - 12$

${A_{13}} = + \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&3 \\ { - 2}&0 \end{array}} \right| = 6$

${A_{21}} = - \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 1}&2 \\ 0&1 \end{array}} \right| - \left( { - 1} \right) = 1$

${A_{22}} = + \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&2 \\ { - 2}&1 \end{array}} \right| = 1 + 4 = 5$

${A_{23}} = - \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1} \\ { - 2}&0 \end{array}} \right| - \left( { - 2} \right) = 2$

${A_{31}} = + \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 1}&2 \\ 3&5 \end{array}} \right| = - 5 - 6 = - 11$

${A_{32}} = + \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&2 \\ 2&5 \end{array}} \right| = - \left( {5 - 4} \right) = - 1$

${A_{33}} = + \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1} \\ 2&3 \end{array}} \right| = 3 + 2 = 5$

$\therefore Adj.A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&{ - 12}&6 \\ 1&5&2 \\ { - 11}&{ - 1}&5 \end{array}} \right]'$

$= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&1&{ - 11} \\ { - 12}&5&{ - 1} \\ 6&2&5 \end{array}} \right]$

Question 143 Marks
For the matrix $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1\end{array}\right]$, find the numbers $a$ and $b$ such that $A^2+a A+b l=0$.
Answer
Given: $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&2 \\ 1&1 \end{array}} \right]$

$\therefore {A^2} = A.A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&2 \\ 1&1 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&2 \\ 1&1 \end{array}} \right]$

$= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {9 + 2}&{6 + 2} \\ {3 + 1}&{2 + 1} \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {11}&8 \\ 4&3 \end{array}} \right]$

$\therefore {A^2} + aA + b{I_2} = 0$

$\Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {11}&8 \\ 4&3 \end{array}} \right] + a\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&2 \\ 1&1 \end{array}} \right] + b\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0 \\ 0&1 \end{array}} \right] = 0$

$\Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {11}&8 \\ 4&3 \end{array}} \right] + \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {3a}&{2a} \\ a&a \end{array}} \right] $ $+ \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} b&0 \\ 0&b \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0&0 \\ 0&0 \end{array}} \right]$

$\Rightarrow \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {11 + 3a + b}&{8 + 2a + 0} \\ {4 + a + 0}&{3 + a + b} \end{array}} \right] $ $= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0&0 \\ 0&0 \end{array}} \right]$

$\therefore$ We have $11 + 3a + b = 0$….(i)

$8 + 2a + 0 = 0$ ...(ii)

$\Rightarrow 2a = - 8$

$\Rightarrow a = - 4$

Here a = -4 satisfies 4 + a + 0 = 0 also, therefore a = -4

Putting a = -4 in eq. (i), 11 - 12 + b = 0 $ \Rightarrow b - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow b = 1$

Here also b = 1 satisfies 3 + a + b = 0, therefore b = 1

Therefore, a = - 4 and b = 1

Question 153 Marks
Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & 7 \\ 2 & 5\end{array}\right]$ and $B=\left[\begin{array}{ll}6 & 8 \\ 7 & 9\end{array}\right]$ verify that $(A B)^{-1}=B^{-1} A^{-1}$
Answer
Given: Matrix $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&7 \\ 2&5 \end{array}} \right]$
$\therefore \left| A \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&7 \\ 2&5 \end{array}} \right| = 15 - 14 = 1 \ne 0$
$\therefore {A^{ - 1}} = \frac{1}{{\left| A \right|}}adj.A $ $= \frac{1}{1}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 5&{ - 7} \\ { - 2}&3 \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 5&{ - 7} \\ { - 2}&3 \end{array}} \right]$
Matrix $B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 6&8 \\ 7&9 \end{array}} \right]$
$\therefore \left| B \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 6&8 \\ 7&9 \end{array}} \right| = 54 - 56 = - 2 \ne 0$
$\therefore {B^{ - 1}} = \frac{1}{{\left| B \right|}}adj.B = \frac{1}{{ - 2}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 9&{ - 8} \\ { - 7}&6 \end{array}} \right]$
Now $AB = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&7 \\ 2&5 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 6&8 \\ 7&9 \end{array}} \right] $ $= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {18 + 49}&{24 + 63} \\ {12 + 35}&{16 + 45} \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {67}&{87} \\ {47}&{61} \end{array}} \right]$
$\therefore \left| {AB} \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {67}&{87} \\ {47}&{61} \end{array}} \right|  = 67(61) - 87(47) = 4087 - 4089 = - 2 \ne 0$
Now $\text{L.H.S.} = {\left( {AB} \right)^{ - 1}} = \frac{1}{{\left| {AB} \right|}}adj.\left( {AB} \right) $ $= \frac{1}{{ - 2}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {61}&{ - 87} \\ { - 47}&{67} \end{array}} \right]….(i)$
$\text{R.H.S.} = B^{-1}A^{-1}​​​​​​​ = \frac{1}{{ - 2}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 9&{ - 8} \\ { - 7}&6 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 5&{ - 7} \\ { - 2}&3 \end{array}} \right]$
$= \frac{1}{{ - 2}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {45 + 16}&{ - 63 - 24} \\ { - 35 - 12}&{49 + 18} \end{array}} \right]$
$= \frac{1}{{ - 2}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {61}&{ - 87} \\ { - 47}&{67} \end{array}} \right]….(ii)$
$\therefore$ From eq. $(i)$ and $(ii),$ we get
$\text{L.H.S. = R.H.S.}$
$ \Rightarrow {\left( {AB} \right)^{ - 1}} = {B^{ - 1}}{A^{ - 1}}$

Using cofactors of elements of third column, evaluate $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & x & y z \\ 1 & y & z x \\ 1 & z & x y\end{array}\right|$
Answer
$\Delta = a_{13}A_{13} + a_{23}A_{23 }+ a_{33}A_{33}$
$= yz( z - y) + zx( x - z) + xy( y - x)$
$= yz^2 - y^2z + zx^2 - z^2x + xy^2 - x^2y$
$= zx^2 - x^2y + xy^2 - z^2x + yz^2 - y^2z$
$= x^2 ( z- y) + x(y^2 - z^2) + yz(z - y) $
$= (z - y)[ x^2 - x( z + y) + yz]$
$= (z - y)[x^2 - xz - xy +yz]$
$= (z - y) [ x(x - y) - z(x - y)]$
$= (z - y)[ ( x - y)(x - z)]$
$= (z - y)( x - y) (x - z)$
