II.

Question 1.
If A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
0 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & 0 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 0
\end{array}\right]\) and B = \(\frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{lll}
b+c & c-a & b-a \\
c-b & c+a & a-b \\
b-c & a-c & a+b
\end{array}\right]\) then show that ABA^-1 is a diagonal matrix.
Solution:

Question 2.
If 3A = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & 2 \\
2 & 1 & -2 \\
-2 & 2 & -1
\end{array}\right]\) then show that A^-1 = A’
Solution:

Question 3.
If A = \(\left[\begin{array}{rrr}
3 & -3 & 4 \\
2 & -3 & 4 \\
0 & -1 & 1
\end{array}\right]\), then show that A^-1 = A³
Solution:

∴ A⁴ = I
det A = 3(1) – 3(-2) + 4(-2) = 1
∵ A ≠ 0 ⇒ A^-1 exists
∵ A⁴ = I
Multiply with A^-1
A⁴ (A^-1) = I (A^-1)
⇒ A³ (AA^-1) = A^-1
⇒ A³ (I) = A^-1
∴ A^-1 = A³

Question 4.
If AB = I or BA = I, then prove that A is invertible and B = A^-1
Solution:
Given AB = I
⇒ AB| = |1|
⇒ |A| |B| = 1
⇒ |A| ≠ 0
∴ A is a non-singular matrix and BA = I
⇒ |BA| = |I|
⇒ |B| |A| = 1
⇒ |A| ≠ 0
∴ A is a non-singular matrix.
AB = I or BA = I, A is invertible.
∴ A^-1 exists.
AB = I
⇒ A^-1AB = A^-1I
⇒ IB = A^-1
⇒ B = A^-1
∴ B = A^-1
