Mathematics Question on Determinants
Find the inverse of each of the matrices(if it exists). 1\0\00cosαsinα0sinα−cosα
Answer
Let A=1\0\00cosαsinα0sinα−cosα
We have,
IAI=1(-cos2α-sin2α)=-(cos2α+sin2α)
Now A11=-cos2α-sin2α=-1, A12=0, A13=0
A21=0, A22=-cosα, A23=-sinα
A31=0, A32=-sinα, A33=cosα
therefore adj A=−1\0\00−cosα−sinα0−sinαcosα
therefore A-1=∣A∣1.adj A=-−1\0\00−cosα−sinα0−sinαcosα
=1\0\00cosαsinα0sinα−cosα
