Let x in R and let [{:(1,,1,,1),(0,,2,,2),(0,,0,,3):}],Q=[{:(2,,x,,x),(0,,4,,0),(x,,x,,6):}]and R=PQR^(-1) which of the following options is/are correct?

Answer»

There exists a real, number x such that `PQ= QP`
For `x=0,if R[{:(1),(a),(b):}]=6[{:(1),(a),(b):}],then""a+b =5`
For `x=1`, there exists a unit vector `alphahati+betahatj+gamma hatk` for which
`R[{:(alpha),(BETA ),(gamma):}]=[{:(0),(0),(0):}]`
det `R=Ddet[{:(2,,x,,x),(0,,4,,0),(x,,x,,5):}]+8, "forall " x in R `

SOLUTION :It is given, then matrices
`P=[(1,1,1),(0,2,2),(0,0,3)],Q=[(2,x,x),(0,4,0),(x,x,6)]`
`therefore""p^(-1)=(adj(P))/(|P|)`
`as |P|=6 and " adj P"=[(6,0,0),(-3,3,0),(0,-2,2)]`
`RARR""p^(-1)=(1)/(6)[(6,-3,0),(0,3,-2),(0,0,2)]`
`therefore""|R|=|PQP^(-1)|""[because R=PQP^(-1)"(given)"]`
`rArr""|R|=|P||Q||P^(-1)|=|Q|""[because|P||P^(-1)|=|I|=1]`
`=|(2,x,x),(0,4,0),(x,x,6)|=|(2,x,x),(0,4,0),(x,x,5)|+|(2,x,0),(0,4,0),(x,x,1)|`
`=|(2,x,x),(0,4,0),(x,x,5)|+2(4-0)-x(0-0)+0(0-4x)`
`=|(2,x,x),(0,4,0),(x,x,5)|+8 " for all " x inR`
`because""PQ=[(1,1,1),(0,2,2),(0,0,3)][(2,x,x),(0,4,0),(x,x,6)]`
`=[(2+x,4+2x,x+6),(2x,2x+8,12),(3x,3x,18)]`
`"and"QP=[(2,x,x),(0,4,0),(x,x,6)][(1,1,1),(0,2,2),(0,0,3)]`
`=[(2,2+2x,2+5x),(0,8,8),(x,3,3x+18)]`
There is no common value of 'x' for which each corresponding element of matrices PQ and QP is equal.
For `x=0,Q=[(2,0,0),(0,4,0),(0,0,6)]`
then, if `R[(1),(a),(b)]=6[(1),(a),(b)]`
`rArrPQP^(-1)[(1),(a),(b)]=6[(1),(a),(b)]""[because R=PQP^(-1)]`
`rArr(1)/(6)[(1,1,1),(0,2,2),(0,0,3)][(2,0,0),(0,4,0),(0,0,6)][(6,-3,0),(0,3,-2),(0,0,2)][(1),(a),(b)]=6[(1),(a),(b)]`
`rArr""(1)/(6)[(2,4,6),(0,8,12),(0,0,18)][(6,-3,0),(0,3,-2),(0,0,2)][(1),(a),(b)]=6[(1),(a),(b)]`
`rArr""[(12,6,4),(0,24,8),(0,0,36)][(1),(a),(b)]=36[(1),(a),(b)]`
`rArr""[(12+6a+4b),(0+24a+8b),(0+0+36b)]=[(36),(36a),(36b)]`
`rArr""6a+4b=24 and 12a=8b`
`rArr""3a+2b=12 and 3a=2b`
`rArr a=2 and b=3`
So `a+b=5`.
Now, `R[(alpha),(beta),(gamma)]=[(0),(0),(0)] and alphahati+betahatj+gammahatk" is a unit vector, so det "(R)=0`
`rArrdet(Q)=0""[becauseR=PQP^(-1)" So, "|R|=|Q|]`
`rArr""|(2,x,x),(0,4,0),(x,x,6)|=0`
`rArr""2(24-0)-x(0-0)+x(0-4x)=`
`rArr""48-4x^(2)=0`
`rArr""x^(2)=12 rArr x= pm2sqrt3`
So, for `x=1`, there does not exist a unit vector `alpha hat (i) +betahat(j) +gammahat(k)`, for which `R [{:(alpha,),(beta,),(gamma,):}]=[{:(0,),(0,),(0,):}]`
Hence, options (b) and (d) are correct.
