Find the maximum value of `|[1, 1, 1],[ 1, 1+sintheta,1],[ 1, 1, 1+costheta]|` |
|
Answer» `D = |[1,1,1],[1,1+sintheta,1],[1,1,1+costheta]|` Applying `R_2->R_2-R_1` and `R_3->R_3-R_1` `= |[1,1,1],[0,sintheta,0],[0,0,costheta]|` `=[1(sinthetacostheta-0)-0+0] ` `=sinthetacostheta` As `sinxcosx = 1/2sin2x` `:. D=1/2sin2theta` We know maximum value of `sin2theta` will be `1`. So, maximum value of `D` will be ` = 1/2**1 = 1/2`. |

If `A`is a square matrix such that `A^2=I`, then find the simplified value of `(A-I)^3+(A+I)^3-7Adot` |
|
Answer» Here, we are given, `A^2 = I`. Now, `(A+I)^3 = (A+I)(A+I)(A+I)` `= (A^2+IA+AI+I^2)(A+I)` `=(I+A+A+I)(I+A)` (As `A^2 = I`) `=(2I+2A)(I+A)` `=2(I+A)(I+A)` `=2(2(I+A)` `=4I+4A` `:. (A+I)^3 = 4I+4A` Now, `(A-I)^3 = (A-I)(A-I)(A-I)` `=(A^2-IA-IA+I^2)(A-I)` `=(I-2A+I)(A-I)` `=(2I-2A)(A-I)` `=-2(A-I)(A-I)` `=-2(-2(A-I))` `=4A-4I` `:. (A-I)^3+(A+I)^3- 7A = 4A-4I+4I+4A-7A = 8A-7A = A` `=>(A-I)^3+(A+I)^3- 7A = A` |

Discuss the delegation of authority and state its importance. |
|
Answer» In order to define delegation of authority, we have to understand the meaning of the term. Delegation of authority is a process that enables a person to assign a task to others. As a manager or leader, you’re expected to perform several tasks and meet multiple deadlines. To ensure that you achieve your objectives on time, you delegate responsibility to your team members. In short, the meaning of delegation of authority is to entrust someone with tasks and share the overall responsibility. IMPORTANCE OF DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY 1. INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY Delegation helps employees finish tasks faster because the work is distributed among a group of individuals and everyone is responsible for their respective targets. 2. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT When you delegate tasks, your team members get a chance to showcase their skills and expertise in a particular area. With proper guidance, they can also improve their knowledge and skill sets. 3. CONTINUITY If you’re busy or absent from work, your team can help complete some of your work and ensure continuity and productivity. 4. EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION When you assign new responsibilities, it shows that you trust your employees to take control. They’re encouraged and driven to fully utilize their potential. 5. CAREER GROWTH The more you delegate tasks to different members of your team, the more they understand business goals and objectives. This gives way to potential promotion within the organization. |
