Misc 8 Choose the correct answer. If x, y, z are nonzero real numbers, then the inverse of matrix A = [โ 8(x&0&0@0&y&0@0&0&z)] is A. [โ 8(๐ฅ^(โ1)&0&0@0&๐ฆ^(โ1)&0@0&0&๐ง^(โ1) )] B. xyz[โ 8(๐ฅ^(โ1)&0&0@0&๐ฆ^(โ1)&0@0&0&๐ง^(โ1) )] C. 1/xyz [โ 8(x&0&0@0&y&0@0&0&z)] D. 1/xyz [โ 8(1&0&0@0&1&0@0&0&1)] Given A = [โ 8(x&0&0@0&y&0@0&0&z)] We have to find A-1 We know that A-1 = ๐/(|๐|) adj (A) exists if |A| โ 0 Calculating |A| |A| = |โ 8(x&0&0@0&y&0@0&0&z)| = x |โ 8(๐ฆ&0@0&๐ง)| โ 0 |โ 8(0&0@0&๐ง)| + 0 |โ 8(0&๐ฆ@0&0)| = x (yz โ 0) โ 0 (0 โ 0) + 0 (0 โ 0) = x(yz) + 0 + 0 = xyz Since |A| โ 0 Thus, A-1 exist Now, adj A = [โ 8(A_11&A_21&A_31@A_12&A_22&A_32@A_13&A_23&A_33 )] A = [โ 8(๐ฅ&0&0@0&๐ฆ&0@0&0&๐ง)] M11 = |โ 8(๐ฆ&0@0&๐ง)| = yz โ 0 = yz M12 = |โ 8(0&0@0&๐ง)| = 0 โ 0 = 0 M13 = |โ 8(0&y@0&0)| = 0 โ 0 = โ 0 M21 = |โ 8(0&0@0&๐ง)| = 0 โ 0 = 0 M22 = |โ 8(x&0@0&๐ง)| = xz โ 0 = xz M23 = |โ 8(x&0@0&0)| = 0 โ 0 = 0 M31 = |โ 8(0&0@0&z)| = 0 โ 0 = 0 M32 = |โ 8(x&0@0&0)| = 0 โ 0 = 0 M33 = |โ 8(๐ฅ&0@0&y)| = x y โ 0 = xy A11 = ( โ 1)1 + 1 M11 = ( โ 1)2 y z = yz A12 = ( โ 1)1+2 M12 = ( โ 1)3 0 = 0 A13 = ( โ 1)1+3 M13 = ( โ 1)4 0 = โ 0 A21 = ( โ 1)2+1 M21 = ( โ 1)3. 0 = 0 A22 = ( โ 1)2+2 M22 = ( โ 1)4 x z = x z A23 = ( โ 1)2+3 M23 = ( โ 1)5 0 = 0 A31 = ( โ 1)3+1 M31 = ( โ 1)4 0 = 0 A32 = ( โ 1)3+2 M32 = ( โ 1)5 0 = 0 A33 = ( โ 1)3+3 M33 = ( โ 1)6 xy = xy Thus, adj (A) = [โ 8(A11&A21&A31@A12&A22&A32@A33&A23&A33)] = [โ 8(๐ฅ ๐ฆ&0&0@0&๐ง ๐ฆ&0@0&0&๐ฅ ๐ฆ)] Now, A-1 = 1/(|A|) adj (A) = ๐/๐๐๐ [โ 8(๐ ๐&๐&๐@๐&๐ ๐&๐@๐&๐&๐ ๐)] = [โ 8(๐ฆ๐ง/๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง&0&0@0&๐ฆ๐ง/๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง&0@0&0&๐ฆ๐ง/๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง)] = [โ 8(๐/๐&๐&๐@๐&๐/๐&๐@๐&๐&๐/๐)] = [โ 8(๐ฅ^(โ1)&0&0@0&๐ฆ^(โ1)&0@0&0&๐ง^(โ1) )] Thus, the correct option is A
