If and A–1 = A’, find value of α.
Given, A =
We know that transpose of a matrix is obtained by interchanging rows with respective columns.
∴ A’ =
Inverse of a matrix A = A-1 =
Clearly |A| =
∴ |A| = {using trigonometric identity}
Adj(A) is given by the transpose of the cofactor matrix.
∴ adj(A) =
∴ A-1 =
According to question:
A’ = A-1
∴
As both the matrices are equal irrespective of the value of α.
∴ α can be any real number …ans
