1.
If A-1 = \(\left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & -1 & 1 \\ -15 & 6 & -5 \\ 5 & -2 & 2 \end{matrix} \right] \) and B =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & -2 \\ -1 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & -2 & 1 \end{matrix} \right] \) find (AB)-1
2.
For the matrix A = \(\left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{matrix} \right] \)find the numbers a and b such that A2 +aA + bI = O. Hence find A-1.
3.
If a \(\neq \)p b\(\neq \)q c\(\neq \)r and \(\left| \begin{matrix} p & b & c \\ a & q & c \\ a & b & r \end{matrix} \right| \) = 0 find the value of \(\frac { p }{ p-a } +\frac { q }{ q-b } +\frac { r }{ r-c } \)
4.
A school wants to award its student or the values of Honesty, Regularity and Hard Work with a total cash award of Rs.6,000. Three times the award money for Hard work added to that given for Honesty amounts to Rs.11,000. The award money given for Honesty and Hard work together is double the one given for regularity. Represent the above situation algebraically and find the award money for each value, using matrix method. Apart from these values, namely, Honesty, Regularity and Hard work, suggest one more value which the school must include for awards.
5.
Prove that the determinant \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc} x & \sin \theta & \cos \theta \\ -\sin \theta & -x & 1 \\ \cos \theta & 1 & x \end{array}\right|\) is independent of θ.
6.
Use product \(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & -2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} -2 & 0 & 1 \\ 9 & 2 & -3 \\ 6 & 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}\) to solve the system of equations.
x - y + 2z = 1;
2y - 3z = 1;
3x - 2y + 4z = 2
7.
Using properties of determinants solve the following for X:
\(\begin{vmatrix} x-a & x & x \\ x & x+a & x \\ x & x & x+a \end{vmatrix}=0,a\neq 0\)
8.
Using properties of determinants solve for \(x\begin{vmatrix} a+x & a-x & a-x \\ a-x & a+x & a-x \\ a-x & a-x & a+x \end{vmatrix}=0\)
1.
\(\left( AB \right) ^{ -1 }=\left[ \begin{matrix} 9 & -3 & 5 \\ -2 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 2 \end{matrix} \right] \)
2.
\(A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]\)
\(\therefore A^{2}=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 9+2 & 6+2 \\ 3+1 & 2+1 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 11 & 8 \\ 4 & 3 \end{array}\right]\)
\(\text { Now, }\)
\(A^{2}+a A+b I=O\)
\(\Rightarrow(A A) A^{-1}+a A A^{-1}+b I A^{-1}=O \quad\left[\text { Post-multiplying by } A^{-1} \text { as }|A| \neq 0\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow A\left(A A^{-1}\right)+a I+b\left(I A^{-1}\right)=O\)
\(\Rightarrow A I+a I+b A^{-1}=O\)
\(\Rightarrow A+a I=-b A^{-1} \)
\(\Rightarrow A^{-1}=-\frac{1}{b}(A+a I)\)
\(\text {Now, }A^{-1}=\frac{1}{|A|} a d j A=\frac{1}{1}\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 3 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 3 \end{array}\right]\)
\(\text {We have: }\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 3 \end{array}\right]=-\frac{1}{b}\left(\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc} a & 0 \\ 0 & a \end{array}\right]\right)=-\frac{1}{b}\left[\begin{array}{cc} 3+a & 2 \\ 1 & 1+a \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{-3-a}{b} & -\frac{2}{b} \\ -\frac{1}{b} & \frac{-1-a}{b} \end{array}\right]\)
Comparing the corresponding elements of the two matrices, we have:
\(-\frac{1}{b}=-1 \Rightarrow b=1 \)
\(\frac{-3-a}{b}=1 \Rightarrow-3-a=1 \Rightarrow a=-4 \)
Hence, −4 and 1 are the required values of a and b respectively.

\( \left|\begin{array}{ccc}
x & \sin \theta & \cos \theta \\
-\sin \theta & -x & 1 \\
\cos \theta & 1 & x
\end{array}\right| \)
\( =x\left(-x^2-1\right)-\sin \theta(-x \sin \theta-\cos \theta)+\cos \theta(-\sin \theta+x \cos \theta) \)
\( =-x^3-x+x \sin ^2 \theta+\sin \theta \cos \theta-\sin \theta \cos \theta+x \cos ^2 \theta \)
\( =-x^3-x+x\left(\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta\right) \)
\(=-x^3-x+x \)
\(=-x^3 \text { (Which is Independent of } \theta \text { ) }\)
6.
Consider the product \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & -2 & 4 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -2 & 0 & 1 \\ 9 & 2 & -3 \\ 6 & 1 & -2 \end{array}\right]\)
\(=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -2-9+12 & 0-2+2 & 1+3-4 \\ 0+18-18 & 0+4-3 & 0-6+6 \\ -6-18+24 & 0-4+4 & 3+6-8 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]\)
Hence, \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & -2 & 4 \end{array}\right]^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -2 & 0 & 1 \\ 9 & 2 & -3 \\ 6 & 1 & -2 \end{array}\right]\)
Now, given system of equations can be written, in matrix form, as follows
\(\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & -2 & 4 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{array}\right]\)
\(\begin{aligned} &x \\ &y \\ &z \end{aligned}=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & -2 & 4 \end{array}\right]^{-1}\left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 2 & 0 & 1 \\ 9 & 2 & 3 \\ 6 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{array}\right]\)
\(=\left[\begin{array}{r} -2+0+2 \\ 9+2-6 \\ 6+1-4 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} 0 \\ 5 \\ 3 \end{array}\right]\)
Hence, x = 0, y = 5, z = 3
7.
\(\text { Given }\left|\begin{array}{ccc} x+a & x & x \\ x & x+a & x \\ x & x & x+a \end{array}\right|=0, a \neq 0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left|\begin{array}{rrc} a & 0 & x \\ -a & a & x \\ 0 & -a & x+a \end{array}\right|=0\)
\(\left[\text { by performing } C_{1} \rightarrow C_{1}-C_{2} \text { and } C_{2} \rightarrow C_{2}-C_{3}\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow\left|\begin{array}{ccc} a & 0 & x \\ 0 & a & 2 x \\ 0 & -a & x+a \end{array}\right|=0\left[\text { by performing } R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}+R_{1}\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow a\left(a x+a^{2}+2 a x\right)=0 \text { [on expanding along } \left.C_{1}\right] \)
\(\Rightarrow 3 a x+a^{2}=0 \Rightarrow x=-\frac{a}{3}, a \neq 0\)
8.
\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 3 a-x & 3 a-x & 3 a-x \\ a-x & a+x & a-x \\ a-x & a-x & a+x \end{array}\right|=0\)
\(\text { [by performing } \left.R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}+\left(R_{2}+R_{3}\right)\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow(3 a-x)\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ a-x & a+x & a-x \\ a-x & a-x & a+x \end{array}\right|=0\)
\(\text { [by taking } \left.(3 a-x) \text { common from } R_{1}\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow(3 a-x)\left|\begin{array}{crc} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ -2 x & 2 x & a-x \\ 0 & -2 x & a+x \end{array}\right|=0\)
\(\text { [by performing } \left.C_{1} \rightarrow C_{1}-C_{2} \text { and } C_{2} \rightarrow C_{2}-C_{3}\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow 4 x^{2}(3 a-x)=0 \)
\(\Rightarrow x=0 \text { or } x=3 a \)
