Exercise 6a
Question 1.

If A is a 2 × 2 matrix such that |A| ≠ 0 and |A| = 5, write the value of |4A|.


Answer:

Theorem: If A be k × k matrix then |pA|=pk|A|.

Given, p=4,k=2 and |A|=5.


|4A|=42 × 5


=16 × 5


=80



Question 2.

If A is a 3 × 3 matrix such that |A| ≠ 0 and |3A| = k|A| then write the value of k.


Answer:

Theorem: If Let A be k × k matrix then |pA|=pk|A|.

Given: k=3 and p=3.


|3A|=33 × |A|


=27|A|.


Comparing above with k|A| gives k=27.



Question 3.

Let A be a square matrix of order 3, write the value of |2A|, where |A| = 4.


Answer:

Theorem: If A be k × k matrix then |pA|=pk|A|.

Given: p=2, k=3 and|A|=4


|2A|=23 × |A|


=8 × 4


= 32



Question 4.

If Aij is the cofactor of the element aij of then write the value of (a32A32).


Answer:

Theorem: Aij is found by deleting ith rowand jth column, the determinant of left matrix is called cofactor with multiplied by (-1)(i+j).


Given: i=3 and j=2.


A32=(-1)(3+2)(2 × 4-6 × 5)


=-1 × (-22)


=22


a32=5


a32A32= 5 × 22


=110



Question 5.

Evaluate


Answer:

Theorem: This evaluation can be done in two different ways either by taking out the common things and then calculating the determinants or simply take determinant.


I will prefer first method because with that chances of silly mistakes reduces.


Take out x+1 from second row.


(x+1) ×


⇒(x+1) × (x2-x+1-(x-1))


⇒ (x+1) × (x2-2x+2)


⇒ x3-2x2+2x+x2-2x+2


⇒ x3-x2+2 .



Question 6.

Evaluate


Answer:

This we can very simply go through directly.


((a+ib)(a-ib))-((-c+id)(c+id)).


⇒ (a2+b2)-(-c2 -d2).


⇒ a2+b2 + c2+d2


∵ i × i=-1



Question 7.

If write the value of x.


Answer:

Here the determinant is compared so we need to take determinant both sides then find x.


12x+14=32-42


⇒ 12x=-10-14


⇒ 12x=-24


⇒ x=-2



Question 8.

If write the value of x.


Answer:

this question is having the same logic as above.

2x2-40=18+14


⇒ 2x2=72


⇒ x2=36


⇒ x=.



Question 9.

If write the value of x.


Answer:

Simply by equating both sides we can get the value of x.


2x2+2x-2(x2+4x+3)=-12


⇒ -6x-6=-12


⇒ -6x=-6




Question 10.

If find the value of 3|A|.


Answer:

Find the determinant of A and then multiply it by 3

|A|=2


3|A|=3 × 2


=6



Question 11.

Evaluate


Answer:

It is determinant multiplied by a scalar number 2, just find determinant of matrix and multiply it by 2.


2 × (35-20)


2 × 15= 30



Question 12.

Evaluate


Answer:

Find determinant


× √ 24-√ 20 × √ 5


√ 144-√ 100.


=12-10


=2.



Question 13.

Evaluate


Answer:

After finding determinant we will get a trigonometric identity.


2cos2θ +2sin2θ


=2


∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1



Question 14.

Evaluate


Answer:

After finding determinant we will get a trigonometric identity.


cos2α +sin2α


=1


∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1



Question 15.

Evaluate


Answer:

After finding determinant we will get,


Sin60° = = cos30°


Cos60° = = sin30°


sin 60° × cos30° + sin30° × cos60°



=


= 1.



Question 16.

Evaluate


Answer:

By directly opening this determinant

cos65° × cos25° -sin25° × sin65°


= cos(65°+25°) ∵ cosAcosB-sinAsinB=cos(A+B)


= cos90°


= 0


∵ cosAcosB-sinAsinB=cos(A+B)



Question 17.

Evaluate


Answer:

cos15°cos75° - sin75°sin15°


= cos(15°+75°) ∵ cosAcosB-sinAsinB=cos(A+B)


= cos90°


= 0


∵ cosAcosB-sinAsinB=cos(A+B)



Question 18.

Evaluate


Answer:

We know that expansion of determinant with respect to first row is a11A11+a12A12+a13A13.

0(3 × 6-5 × 4)-2(2 × 6-4 × 4)+0(2 × 5-4 × 3)


= 8.



Question 19.

Without expanding the determinant, prove that

SINGULAR MATRIX A square matrix A is said to be singular if |A| = 0.

Also, A is called non singular if |A| ≠ 0.


Answer:

We know that C1⇒ C1-C2, would not change anything for the determinant.

Applying the same in above determinant, we get


Now it can clearly be seen that C1=8 × C3


Applying above equation we get,



We know that if a row or column of a determinant is 0. Then it is singular determinant.



Question 20.

For what value of x, the given matrix is a singular matrix?


Answer:

For A to be singular matrix its determinant should be equal to 0.

0= (3-2x) × 4-(x+1) × 2


0= 12-8x-2x-2


0=10-10x


X=1.



Question 21.

Evaluate


Answer:

=14 × (-7)-9 × (-8)


= -26



Question 22.

Evaluate


Answer:

= 3√3 × √3 – (-√5 × √5)


= 14.




Exercise 6b
Question 1.

Evaluate :




Answer:


[R2’ = (1/2)R2]


[R2’ = R2 - R3]


[R1’ = R1 - R3]


[R3’ = 2R3]


= ( - 14){(2 × 13) - (2 × 12)} - 5{(2 × )– ( - 3) × 13} - 5{( - 3) × 12 - 2 × }


[expanding by the first row]


= - 14 × (26 - 24) - 5(81 + 39) - 5( - 36 - 81)


= - 14 × 2 - 5 × 120 - 5 × ( - 117) = - 28 - 600 + 585 = - 43



Question 2.

Evaluate :




Answer:


[R1’ = R1 - R2]


[R2’ = 2R2]


[R2’ = R2 - R3]


[R3’ = 2R3]


= 4(8 × 23 - 8 × 27) - 5{8 × - ( - 13) × 23} - 5{( - 13) × 27 - 8 × }


[expansion by first row]


= 132



Question 3.

Evaluate :




Answer:

[R1’ = R1/6]


Now, for any determinant, if at least two rows are identical, then the value of the determinant becomes zero.


Here, the first and third rows are identical.


So, the value of the above determinant evaluated = 0



Question 4.

Evaluate :




Answer:


Expanding by first row, we get,


1(9 × 25 - 16 × 16) + 4(16 × 9 - 4 × 25) + 9(4 × 16 - 9 × 9) = - 31 + 176 - 153 = - 8



Question 5.

Using properties of determinants prove that:




Answer:


[C1’ = C1 - C2 & C2’ = C2 - C3]



[C1’ = C1/(a - b) & C2’ = C2/(b - c)]


= (a - b)(b - c)[0 + 0 + 1{ - a - ( - c)}] [expansion by first row]


= (a - b)(b - c)(c - a)



Question 6.

Using properties of determinants prove that:




Answer:


[R1’ = R1 - R2 & R2’ = R2 - R3]



[R1’ = R1/(b - a) & R2’ = R2/(c - b)]


= (b - a)(c - b)[0 + 0 + 1{(c + b) - (b + a)}] [expansion by first column]


= (a - b)(b - c)(c - a)



Question 7.

Using properties of determinants prove that:




Answer:


[R1’ = R1 - R2 & R2’ = R2 - R3]


[R1’ = R1 - R2]


[R2’ = R2*2]


[R2’ = R2 + R3]


= (1/2)[0 + 3(1 + q) - (1 + 6p + 3q) + p(6 + 3p - 3p)] [expansion by first row]
