Mathematics Question on Matrices
if p=[3/2 −1/21/23/2],A=[1 011] and Q=PAPT, then PTQ2005P is
A
[1 020051]
B
[1 200520051]
C
[1 200501]
D
[1 001]
Answer
[1 020051]
Explanation
Solution
Now, PTP=[3/2 1/2−1/23/2][3/2 −1/21/23/2]
⇒ PTP=[1 011]⇒ PTP=I ⇒ PT=P−1
Since Q=PAPT
∴ PTQ2005P=PT[(PAPT)(PAPT).....2005 times]P
=2005 times(PAPT)A(PAPT)A(PAPT)..........(PAPT)A(PAPT)
=IA2005=A2005
∴ A1[1 011]
A2[1 011][1 011]=[1 021]
A3=[1 021][1 011]=[1 031]
.... ..... ..... ........ . ........
.... ...... ..... ....... .......
A2005=[1 020051]
∴ PTQ2005P=[1 020051]
