    If \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & -3 & 4  \\    2 & -3 & 4  \\    0 & -1 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\], then \[{{A}^{-1}}\]= [DCE 1999]

    A) A

    B) \[{{A}^{2}}\]

    C) \[{{A}^{3}}\]

    D) \[{{A}^{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here, \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[{{A}^{2}}=A.A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & -1  \\    1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\,\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & -1  \\    1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    -1 & 0  \\    0 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right].\] \[=-{{\sin }^{2}}A+\sin A\sin (B+C)\] Þ  \[+\cos B(\cos B+\cos A\cos C)\] Þ  \[(x-5)({{x}^{2}}+5x-14)=0\] \[{{x}^{3}}-39x+70=0\] Now, \[{{A}^{2}}=\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    3 & -4 & 4  \\    0 & -1 & 0  \\    -2 & 2 & -3  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]\] and \[{{A}^{3}}={{A}^{2}}.A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & -4 & 4  \\    0 & -1 & 0  \\    -2 & 2 & -3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\,\times \,\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & -3 & 4  \\    2 & -3 & 4  \\    0 & -1 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                     \[=\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    1 & -1 & 0  \\    -2 & 3 & -4  \\    -2 & 3 & -3  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]={{A}^{-1}}\].
