Ans:

(i) (cos e )(cos e ) - ( -sin e ) (sin e ) = cos2 e + sin2 e = 1

(ii) = ( x2 -X + 1) ( X + 1)- ( X - 1 ) ( X + 1 )

Q3: If A= [ ! �] , then show that I2AI = 4 IAI

ce

Ans: The given matrix is A = [ ! �]

[! �] = [! !]
yn

Therefore, 2A =2

Therefore, L.H.S. = 2I AI = I! : I = 2 x 4- 4x 8 = 8 - 3 2 = -2 4
m

Now, A
I =

! �I =

1X 2 -2 X 4= 2 - 8 = -6

Therefore, R.H.S. = 4IAI = 4x ( -6) = -24

Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
