(a) \( \frac25 \)
(b) \( \frac52 \)
(c) −5
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( \frac25 \)
Explanation:
1. Singular means the determinant is 0.
2. Expanding: \( \lambda(2+3)-7(8-6)-2(-4-2)=5\lambda-14+12=5\lambda-2 \).
3. So λ = 2/5.

(d) no real value of α exists
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) no real value of α exists
Explanation:
1. \( A^2= \)\( \begin{bmatrix}\alpha^2&0\\\alpha+1&1\end{bmatrix} \).
2. Equating with B: α² = 1 and α + 1 = 5. The first gives α = ±1 and the second α = 4, which cannot hold together.
3. Hence no value of α exists.

(a) \( \lambda=3,\ \mu=4 \)
(b) \( \lambda=4,\ \mu=-3 \)
(c) no real values of λ, μ are possible
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) no real values of λ, μ are possible
Explanation:
1. The product is \( \begin{bmatrix}2&4&2\mu+9\\1&2\lambda+5&\mu-3\lambda\end{bmatrix} \).
2. From the entries: 2μ + 9 = 1 gives μ = −4, and 2λ + 5 = −1 gives λ = −3.
3. The last entry would need μ − 3λ = −4 + 9 = 5, but it must equal 13: a contradiction. So no values exist.

(a) 0
(b) \( \frac\pi2 \)
(c) \( \frac\pi4 \)
(d) π
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \frac\pi2 \)
Explanation:
1. Each entry of AB has the form \( \cos\theta\cos\phi\cos(\theta-\phi) \) times a product of cos/sin of θ and φ.
2. For AB = 0 (with non-zero factors) we need cos(θ − φ) = 0, so |θ − φ| is an odd multiple of π/2; the smallest is π/2.

Answer: (b) λ ≠ 8
Explanation:

2. A is invertible when |A| ≠ 0, i.e. λ ≠ 8.

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \begin{bmatrix}3&4&-2\\-1&-1&1\\-1&-2&1\end{bmatrix} \)
Explanation:
1. |A| = 1(1 + 2) − 0 + 2(0 − 1) = 1.
2. The adjoint (transpose of the cofactor matrix) is \( \begin{bmatrix}3&4&-2\\-1&-1&1\\-1&-2&1\end{bmatrix} \).
3. Since |A| = 1, the inverse equals this adjoint. Check: A times it gives I.

Answer: (b) I
Explanation:

2. Similarly the other rows give (0, 1, 0) and (0, 0, 1), so A² = I.

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) f(x) · f(y)
Explanation:
1. Multiply f(x) f(y): the top-left 2 × 2 block gives \( \cos x\cos y-\sin x\sin y=\cos(x+y) \) and \( \sin x\cos y+\cos x\sin y=\sin(x+y) \).
2. So f(x) f(y) = f(x + y).

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( \begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\0\end{bmatrix} \)
Explanation:
1. Use 1 + ω = −ω², ω + ω² = −1 and 1 + ω² = −ω. Row 1 of A + B is (−ω², −1, −ω), and times (1, ω, ω²) gives \( -\omega^2-\omega-\omega^3=-(1+\omega+\omega^2)=0 \).
2. The other two rows work out the same way, so (A + B)C is the zero column.
