2(a + b + c) [(b – c) (c – b) – (b – a) (c – a)] =0 (a+b+c) = 0
(a + b + c) = 0 or (b – c) (c – b) = (b – a) (c – a)
(a + b + c) = 0 or a = b = c.

Question 6.
If f(x) = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{\cos x} & {-\sin x} & {0} \\{\sin x} & {\cos x} & {0} \\{0} & {0} & {1}\end{array}\right]\)
(i) Find f(-x) (2)
(ii) Find (f(x)]-1 (2)
(iii) Is |f(x)]-1 = f(-x)? (2)
Answer:
Plus Two Maths Determinants 4 Mark Questions and Answers 51

(ii) |f(x)| = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{\cos x} & {-\sin x} & {0} \\{\sin x} & {\cos x} & {0} \\{0} & {0} & {1}\end{array}\right]\) = cos x (cos x) + sin x (sin x) = 1 ≠ 0
Therefore , [f(x)]-1 exists.
The cofactors are as follows.
C11 = cos x, C12 = -sin x, C13 = 0, C21 = sin x, C22 = cos x, C23 = 0, C31 = 0, C32 = 0, C33 = 1

Question 8.
‘Arjun’ purchased 3 pens, 2 purses, and 1 instrument box and pays Rs. 410. From the same Shop ‘Deeraj’ purchases 2 pens, 1 purse, and 2 instrument boxes and pays Rs.290, while ‘Sindhu’ purchases 2pens, 2 purses, 2 instrument boxes and pays Rs. 440.

  1. Translate the equation into system of linear equations. (2)
  2. The cost of one pen, one purse and one instrument box using matrix method. (4)

Answer:
1. Let The price of one pen is Rs.x, one purse is Rs.y and one instrument box be Rs.z
3x + 2y + z = 410; 2x + y + 2z =290; 2x + 2y + 2z = 440(1) 2 mts.

2. The system can be represented by the matrix equation AX = B
