For the following two (02) items:
Let A=(cos⁡θsin⁡θ−sin⁡θcos⁡θ)A = \begin{pmatrix} \cos\theta & \sin\theta \\ -\sin\theta & \cos\theta \end{pmatrix}.

What is [adj A]−1[\text{adj}\, A]^{-1} equal to?

Options

  1. A−A-A
  2. B−AT-A^T
  3. CAA
  4. DATA^T

Correct answer

C. AA

Step-by-step solution

Given A=(cos⁡θsin⁡θ−sin⁡θcos⁡θ)A = \begin{pmatrix} \cos\theta & \sin\theta \\ -\sin\theta & \cos\theta \end{pmatrix}

The determinant of AA is ∣A∣=cos⁡2θ−(−sin⁡θ)(sin⁡θ)=cos⁡2θ+sin⁡2θ=1|A| = \cos^2\theta - (-\sin\theta)(\sin\theta) = \cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta = 1

For any non-singular matrix, the inverse is given by A−1=1∣A∣adj AA^{-1} = \dfrac{1}{|A|} \text{adj}\, A

Substituting ∣A∣=1|A| = 1, we get adj A=A−1\text{adj}\, A = A^{-1}

Taking the inverse on both sides yields [adj A]−1=(A−1)−1=A[\text{adj}\, A]^{-1} = (A^{-1})^{-1} = A

Answer: AA
