Chapter 3 Matrices

Solution

1. c. Nilpotent
Explanation: The given matrix A is nilpotent, because |A| = 0,as determinant
of a nilpotent matrix is zero.

2. a. 0

Explanation: , because, row 1 and row 3

are identical.

3. d. A2 = A
Explanation: If the product of any square matrix with itself is the matrix itself,
then the matrix is called Idempotent.

4. d. (M-1)-1 = (M-1)1

Explanation: Clearly , (M-1)-1 = (M-1)1 is not true.

5. d. no solution
Explanation: For no solution , we have: , for given system of
equations we have: .
6. skew symmetric

7. Null

8. kA'

9. P = A - At

3/7
P' = - P
Proved.

10.

Thus, P' = P.
11.

12. Let

Hence, a = 1, b = -2, c = 2, d = 0

13. (I + A)3 - 7A = I3 + A3 + 3IA (I + A) - 7A

= I + A3 + 3I2A + 3IA2 - 7A

= I + A3 + 3A + 3A2 - 7A

= I + A3 + 3A + 3A - 7A {A2 = A}

= I + A3 - A

= I + A2 - A [A2 = A, A3 = A2]

= I + A - A {A2 = A}
=I

14. P = A + A'

4/7
P' = P
Therefore P = P'
Hence A+A' is symmetric.

15.

Now, f(A) = A2 - 5A + 7I

Therefore,

16. We have,

From the given equation, it is clear that order of A should be

Let

By equality of matrices, we get


a = 1, b = -2, c = -5
and 2a - d = -1 d = 2a + 1 = 3;
2b - e = -8 e = 2(-2) + 8 =4

5/7
2c - f = -10 f = 2c + 10 = 0

17. i. L.H.S.

R.H.S.

L.H.S. R.H.S.

ii. L.H.S.

R.H.S.

L.H.S. R.H.S.
18. Put

6/7
L.H.S.

L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence proved
