If A=[aij]3x3 is any orthogonal matrix then which of the following cannot be true. |A| = 1|A| = -1|A|=0None of these |
|
Answer» \(\because\) A is orthogonal matrix. \(\therefore \) ATA = A.AT = I, where I is identify matrix. ⇒ |ATA| = | I | ⇒ |ATA| |A| = 1 (\(\because\) | I | = 1) ⇒ |A| |A| = 1 (\(\because\) |ATA| = |A|) ⇒ |A|2 = 1 ⇒ |A| = -1 or |A| = 1 Hence, |A| = 0 can not be true for an orthogonal matrix A. |
