Question 11 Mark

Fill in the blanks:
If A is a matrix of order 3 × 3, then number of minors in determinant of A are ________.

Answer

If A is a matrix of order 3 × 3, then number of minors in determinant of A are 9.
Solution:
Since, the order of the matrix A is 3 × 3. It means there are 9 elements in the matrix A.
Hence, the number of minors in determinant of A is 9.

Question 21 Mark

Fill in the blanks:
The sum of the products of elements of any row with the co$-$factors of corresponding elements is equal to $..............$

Answer

The sum of the products of elements of any row with the co$-$factors of corresponding elements is equal to value of the determinant.
Let $\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}_{11}&\text{a}_{12}&\text{a}_{13}\\\text{a}_{21}&\text{a}_{22}&\text{a}_{23}\\\text{a}_{31}&\text{a}_{32}&\text{a}_{33}\end{vmatrix}$
Expanding along $R_1,$
$\Delta=\text{a}_{11}\text{A}_{12}+\text{a}_{12}\text{A}_{12}+\text{a}_{13}\text{A}_{13}$
= Sum of products of elements of $R_1$ with their corresponding cofactors.

Question 31 Mark

Fill in the blanks:
If $A$ is a matrix of order $3 \times 3,$ then $(A^2)^{-1} = ...............$.

Answer

If $A$ is a matrix of order $3 \times 3,$ then $(A^2)^{-1} = (A^{-1})^2.$
We know that$, (A^n)^{-1} = (A^{-1})^n,$ where $n \in N.$
Substituting $n = 2$ on both sides, we get
$(A^2)^{-1} = (A^{-1})^2$

Question 41 Mark

Fill in the blanks:
If $\cos2\theta=0,$ then $\begin{vmatrix}0&\cos\theta&\sin\theta\\\cos\theta&\sin\theta&0\\\sin\theta&0&\cos\theta\end{vmatrix}^2=$ _________.

Answer

Since, $\cos2\theta=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \cos2\theta=\cos\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\ 2\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\ \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\therefore\ \sin\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\cos\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\therefore\ \begin{vmatrix}0&\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}&\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}&\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}&0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}&0&\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\end{vmatrix}$
Expanding along $R_1,$
$=\bigg[-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big(-\frac{1}{2}\Big)\bigg]^2$ $=\bigg[\frac{-2}{2\sqrt{2}}\bigg]^2=\bigg(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\bigg)^2=\frac{1}{2}$

$=(\text{z}-\text{x})\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{xyz}&\text{x}-\text{z}\\1&0&\text{y}-\text{z}\\1&\text{z}-\text{y}&0\end{vmatrix}$
$[$Taking $(z - x)$ common from column $1]$
Expanding along $R_1,$
$= (\text{z} - \text{x})\Big[1.\big\{-1({\text{y} - \text{z})(\text{z} - \text{y})}\big\} -\text{xyz}(\text{z} - \text{y}) + (\text{x} - \text{z})(\text{z} - \text{y})\Big]$
$=(\text{z}-\text{x})(\text{z}-\text{y})(-\text{y}+\text{z}-\text{xyz}+\text{x}-\text{z})$
$=(\text{z}-\text{x})(\text{z}-\text{y})(\text{x}-\text{y}-\text{xyz})$
$=(\text{z}-\text{x})(\text{y}-\text{z})(\text{y}-\text{x}+\text{xyz})$

Question 71 Mark

Fill in the blanks:
If $x = -9$ is a root of $\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&3&7\\2&\text{x}&2\\7&6&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}=0,$ then other two roots are __________.

Answer

Since, $\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&3&7\\2&\text{x}&2\\7&6&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}=0$
Expanding along $R_1,$
$x(x^2 - 12) -3(2x - 14) + 7(12 - 7x) = 0$
$\Rightarrow x^3 - 12x - 6x + 42 + 84 - 49x = 0$
$\Rightarrow x^3 - 67x + 126 = 0 ...(i)$
Here, $126 \times 1 = 9 \times 2 \times 7$
For $x = 2, 2^3 - 67 \times 2 + 126 = 134 - 134 = 0$
Hence, $x = 2$ is a roots.
For $x = 7, 7^3 - 67 \times 7 + 126 = 469 - 469 = 0$
Hence, $x = 7$ is also a root.

$[$Taking $(1 + x)^{17}, (1 + x)^{23}, (1 + x)^{41}$ common from $R_1, R_2, R_3$ respectively$]$
$=(1+\text{x})^{17}(1+\text{x})^{23},(1+\text{x})^{41}\begin{vmatrix}1&(1+\text{x})^{2}&(1+\text{x})^{6}\\1&(1+\text{x})^{6}&(1+\text{x})^{11}\\1&(1+\text{x})^{2}&(1+\text{x})^{6}\end{vmatrix}=0$ $\big[\because\ \text{R}_1\text{ and R}_3\text{ are identical}\big]$

Question 91 Mark

Fill in the blanks: If $A$ is invertible matrix of order $3 \times 3,$ then $|A^{-1}| ..........$

Answer

We know that, $|A|.|A^{-1}| = 1$
$\Rightarrow\ |\text{A}^{-1}|=\frac{1}{|\text{A}|}$
Therefore, if $A$ is invertible matrix of order $3 \times 3,$ then $|\text{A}^{-1}|=\frac{1}{|\text{A}|}.$
