Maharashtra State Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Determinants and Matrices Ex 4.7

Question 1.
Find A^T, if
i. A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 3 \\
-4 & 5
\end{array}\right]\)
ii. A = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & -6 & 1 \\
-4 & 0 & 5
\end{array}\right]\)
Solution:
i. A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 3 \\
-4 & 5
\end{array}\right]\)
∴ A^T = \(\left[\begin{array}{rr}
1 & -4 \\
3 & 5
\end{array}\right]\)

ii. A = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
-4 & 0 & 5
2 & -6 & 1 \\
\end{array}\right]\)
∴ A^T = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 & -4 \\
-6 & 0 \\
1 & 5
\end{array}\right]\)

[Note: Answer given in the textbook is A^T = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 & -4 \\
6 & 0 \\
1 & 5
\end{array}\right]\). However, as per our calculation it is A^T = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 & -4 \\
-6 & 0 \\
1 & 5
\end{array}\right]\). ]

Question 2.
If [a_ij]_3×3 where a_ij = 2(i – j), find A and
A^T. State whether A and A^T are symmetric or skew-symmetric matrices?
Solution:
A = [a_ij]_3×3 = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\
a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\
a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33}
\end{array}\right]\)
Given a_ij = 2 (i — j)
∴ a₁₁ = 2(1-1) = 0,
a₁₂ = 2(1-2) = -2,
a₁₃ = 2(1-3) = -4,
a₂₁ = 2(2-1) = 2,
a₂₂ = 2(2-2) = 0,
a₂₃=2(2-3) = -2,
a₃₁ = 2(3-1) = 4,
a₃₂ = 2(3-2) = 2,
a₃₃=2(3-3) = 0

∴ A^T = -A and A = -A^T
∴ A and A^T both are skew-symmetric matrices.

1 & 2 \\
-1 & 4 \\
-2 & 3
\end{array}\right]\) then show that
i. (A + B)^T = AT + B^T
ii. (A – C)^T = A^T – C^T
Solution:

From (i) and (ii), we get
(A + B)^T = AT + B^T
[Note: The question has been modified.]

From (i) and (ii), we get
(A – C)^T = A^T – C^T</sup

If A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
5 & 4 \\
-2 & 3
\end{array}\right]\) and \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
-1 & 3 \\
4 & -1
\end{array}\right]\) then find C^T, such that 3A – 2B + C = I, where I is the unit matrix of order 2.
Solution:
3A – 2B + C = I
∴ C = I + 2B – 3A

Solution:

ii. ii. 5A^T – 5B^T = 5(A^T – B^T)

Question 9.
If A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 1 \\
3 & 1 & 2
\end{array}\right]\), B = \(\left[\begin{array}{rrr}
2 & 1 & -4 \\
3 & 5 & -2
\end{array}\right]\) and C = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 2 & 3 \\
-1 & -1 & 0
\end{array}\right]\), verify that (A + 2B + 3C)^T = A^T + 2B^T + 3C^T.
Solution:
A + 2B + 3C

∴ A^T + 2B^T + 3C^T = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
5 & 6 \\
8 & 8 \\
2 & -2
\end{array}\right]\)
From (i) and (ii), we get
(A + 2B + 3C)^T = A^T + 2B^T + 3C^T

Question 10.
If A = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
-1 & 2 & 1 \\
-3 & 2 & -3
\end{array}\right]\) and B = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}

\end{array}\right]\), prove that (A + B^T)^T = A^T + B.
prove that (A + B^T)^T = A^T + B
Solution:


From (i) and (ii), we get
(A + B^T)^T = A^T + B

Question 11.
Prove that A + A^T is a symmetric and A – A^T is a skew symmetric matrix, where
i. A = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & 4 \\
3 & 2 & 1 \\
-2 & -3 & 2
\end{array}\right]\)
ii. A = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
5 & 2 & -4 \\
3 & -7 & 2 \\
4 & -5 & -3
\end{array}\right]\)
Solution:

∴ (A + A^T)^T = A + A^T, i.e., A + A^T = (A + A^T)^T
∴ A + A^T is a symmetric matrix.


∴ (A – A^T)^T = – (A – A^T),
i.e., A – A^T = -(A – A^T)^T
∴ A – A^T is skew symmetric matrix.

∴ (A + A^T)^T = A + A^T, i.e., A + A^T = (A + A^T)^T
∴ A + A^T is a symmetric matrix.

∴ (A – A^T)^T = – (A – A^T),
i.e., A – A^T = -(A – A^T)^T
∴ A – A^T is skew symmetric matrix.

Question 12.
Express the following matrices as the sum of a symmetric and a skew symmetric matrix.
i. \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
4 & -2 \\
3 & -5
\end{array}\right]\)
ii. \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
3 & 3 & -1 \\
-2 & -2 & 1 \\
-4 & -5 & 2
\end{array}\right]\)
Solution:
A square matrix A can be expressed as the sum of a symmetric and a skew symmetric matrix as
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (A + A^T) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) (A – A^T)

P is symmetric matrix …[∵ a_ij = a_ji]
and Q is a skew symmetric matrix [∵ -a_ij = -a_ji]
A = P + Q
A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
4 & \frac{1}{2} \\
\frac{1}{2} & -5
\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ll}
0 & \frac{-5}{2} \\
\frac{5}{2} & 0
\end{array}\right]\)

∴ P is symmetric matrix …[∵ a_ij = a_ji]
and Q is a skew symmetric matrix [∵ -a_ij = -a_ji]
∴ A = P + Q
∴ A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
4 & \frac{1}{2} \\
\frac{1}{2} & -5
\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ll}
0 & \frac{-5}{2} \\
\frac{5}{2} & 0

2 & -1 & 1
\end{array}\right]\), verify that
i. (AB)^T = B^TA^T
ii. (BA)^T = A^TB^T
Solution:


From (i) and (ii), we get
(AB)^T = B^TA^T

From (i) and (ii) we get
(BA)^T = A^TB^T

Question 14.
