If A = bmatrix & - & bmatrix , then the matrix A⁻³ when = 6 is equal to...
Options
- Abmatrix 0 & 1 -1 & 0 bmatrix
- Bbmatrix 0 & 1 1 & 0 bmatrix
- Cbmatrix 0 & -1 1 & 0 bmatrix
- Dbmatrix 1 & 0 0 & 1 bmatrix
Correct answer
A. bmatrix 0 & 1 -1 & 0 bmatrix
Step-by-step solution
Given A = bmatrix & - & bmatrix Using the property of rotation matrices, A^n = bmatrix n & - n n & n bmatrix for any integer n . For n = -3 , we have: A⁻³ = bmatrix (-3 ) & - (-3 ) (-3 ) & (-3 ) bmatrix Since (-x) = x and (-x) = - x , this simplifies to: A⁻³ = bmatrix 3 & 3 - 3 & 3 bmatrix Substituting = 6 , we get 3 = 2 : A⁻³ = bmatrix 2 & 2 - 2 & 2 bmatrix A⁻³ = bmatrix 0 & 1 -1 & 0 bmatrix Answer: bmatrix 0 & 1 -1 & 0 bmatrix
