Question
Question: If $F(\alpha) = \begin{bmatrix} \cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha & 0 \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha & 0 \\ 0...
If F(α)=cosαsinα0−sinαcosα0001 and G(β)=cosβ0−sinβ010sinβ0cosβ, then [F(α)G(β)]−1

A
F(α)−G(β)
B
−F(α)−G(β)
C
[F(α)]−1[G(β)]−1
D
[G(β)]−1[F(α)]−1
Answer
(AB)−1=B−1A−1
Explanation
Solution
The problem requires finding the inverse of the product of two matrices, F(α) and G(β).
Key concept: The inverse of a product of matrices is the product of their inverses in reverse order. That is, for matrices A and B, (AB)−1=B−1A−1.
Given F(α) and G(β), we want to find [F(α)G(β)]−1. Applying the property of inverses, we have:
[F(α)G(β)]−1=[G(β)]−1[F(α)]−1
Therefore, the correct answer is [G(β)]−1[F(α)]−1.
