Mathematics Question on Matrices
If R(t)=[cost −sintsintcost], then R(s) R(t) equals
A
R (s + t)
B
R (s - t)
C
R(s) + R(t)
D
None of these
Answer
R (s + t)
Explanation
Solution
R(s)R(t)=[coss −sinssinscoss]×[cost −sintsintcost]
=[cosscost−sinssint −sinscost−cosssintcosssint+sinscost−sinssint+cosscost]
=[cos(s+t) −sin(s+t)sin(s+t)cos(s+t)]=R(s+t)
