Misc 8 Choose the correct answer. If x, y, z are nonzero real numbers, then the inverse of matrix A = [ā– 8(x&0&0@0&y&0@0&0&z)] is A. [ā– 8(š‘„^(āˆ’1)&0&0@0&š‘¦^(āˆ’1)&0@0&0&š‘§^(āˆ’1) )] B. xyz[ā– 8(š‘„^(āˆ’1)&0&0@0&š‘¦^(āˆ’1)&0@0&0&š‘§^(āˆ’1) )] C. 1/xyz [ā– 8(x&0&0@0&y&0@0&0&z)] D. 1/xyz [ā– 8(1&0&0@0&1&0@0&0&1)] Given A = [ā– 8(x&0&0@0&y&0@0&0&z)] We have to find A-1 We know that A-1 = šŸ/(|š€|) adj (A) exists if |A| ≠ 0 Calculating |A| |A| = |ā– 8(x&0&0@0&y&0@0&0&z)| = x |ā– 8(š‘¦&0@0&š‘§)| – 0 |ā– 8(0&0@0&š‘§)| + 0 |ā– 8(0&š‘¦@0&0)| = x (yz – 0) – 0 (0 – 0) + 0 (0 – 0) = x(yz) + 0 + 0 = xyz Since |A| ≠ 0 Thus, A-1 exist Now, adj A = [ā– 8(A_11&A_21&A_31@A_12&A_22&A_32@A_13&A_23&A_33 )] A = [ā– 8(š‘„&0&0@0&š‘¦&0@0&0&š‘§)] M11 = |ā– 8(š‘¦&0@0&š‘§)| = yz – 0 = yz M12 = |ā– 8(0&0@0&š‘§)| = 0 – 0 = 0 M13 = |ā– 8(0&y@0&0)| = 0 – 0 = – 0 M21 = |ā– 8(0&0@0&š‘§)| = 0 – 0 = 0 M22 = |ā– 8(x&0@0&š‘§)| = xz – 0 = xz M23 = |ā– 8(x&0@0&0)| = 0 – 0 = 0 M31 = |ā– 8(0&0@0&z)| = 0 – 0 = 0 M32 = |ā– 8(x&0@0&0)| = 0 – 0 = 0 M33 = |ā– 8(š‘„&0@0&y)| = x y – 0 = xy A11 = ( – 1)1 + 1 M11 = ( – 1)2 y z = yz A12 = ( – 1)1+2 M12 = ( – 1)3 0 = 0 A13 = ( – 1)1+3 M13 = ( – 1)4 0 = – 0 A21 = ( – 1)2+1 M21 = ( – 1)3. 0 = 0 A22 = ( – 1)2+2 M22 = ( – 1)4 x z = x z A23 = ( – 1)2+3 M23 = ( – 1)5 0 = 0 A31 = ( – 1)3+1 M31 = ( – 1)4 0 = 0 A32 = ( – 1)3+2 M32 = ( – 1)5 0 = 0 A33 = ( – 1)3+3 M33 = ( – 1)6 xy = xy Thus, adj (A) = [ā– 8(A11&A21&A31@A12&A22&A32@A33&A23&A33)] = [ā– 8(š‘„ š‘¦&0&0@0&š‘§ š‘¦&0@0&0&š‘„ š‘¦)] Now, A-1 = 1/(|A|) adj (A) = šŸ/š’™š’šš’› [ā– 8(š’™ š’š&šŸŽ&šŸŽ@šŸŽ&š’› š’š&šŸŽ@šŸŽ&šŸŽ&š’™ š’š)] = [ā– 8(š‘¦š‘§/š‘„š‘¦š‘§&0&0@0&š‘¦š‘§/š‘„š‘¦š‘§&0@0&0&š‘¦š‘§/š‘„š‘¦š‘§)] = [ā– 8(šŸ/š’™&šŸŽ&šŸŽ@šŸŽ&šŸ/š’š&šŸŽ@šŸŽ&šŸŽ&šŸ/š’›)] = [ā– 8(š‘„^(āˆ’1)&0&0@0&š‘¦^(āˆ’1)&0@0&0&š‘§^(āˆ’1) )] Thus, the correct option is A
