If for any $2 \times 2$ square matrix A, A(adj A) $= \begin{bmatrix} 8 & 0 \\ 0 & 8 \end{bmatrix},$ then write the value of |A|.
Answerit is given that
$\Rightarrow \text{A (adj A}) = 8 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$ \Rightarrow \text{A(adj A) } 8\text{I}_{2} \text{ }\text{ }\text{ } \dots\dots \text{(1)}$
We know that for any square matrix A of order 2, we have
$\text{A(adj A)} = |\text{A}| \text{I}_{2} \text{ }\text{ }\text{ } \dots\dots\dots \text{(2)}$
From (1) and (2), we have
|A| = 8

If matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$ and $A^2 = kA,$ then write the value of $k.$
AnswerGiven $A^2 = kA$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}.\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \text{k}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -2 \\ -2 & 2 \\ \end{bmatrix} =\text{k}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow 2\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \text{k}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$

For what value of x, is the matrix A =$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 0 & 3 \\ \text{x} & -3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ a skew-symmetric matrix?
AnswerA will be skew symmetric matrix if
A = – A'
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 0 & 3 \\ \text{x} & -3 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = -\begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & \text{x} \\ 1 & 0 & -3 \\ -2 & 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -\text{x} \\ -1 & 0 & 3 \\ 2 & -3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

If $ \text{A} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 5 \\ 7 & 9 \\ \end{pmatrix} $ is written as A = P + Q, where P is a symmetric matrix and Q is skew symmetric matrix, then write the matrix P.
Answer$ \text{A} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5 \\ 7 & 9 \\ \end{bmatrix} $
P is symmetric matrix. So, $\text{P} = \frac{1}{2} \text{(A + A}^{\text{T}})$
Q is skew symmetric matrix. So, $\text{Q} = \frac{1}{2} \text{(A + A}^{\text{T}})$
$\text{A}^{\text{T}} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 7 \\ 5 & 9 \\ \end{bmatrix} $
