If A=[[cos alpha,-sin alpha],[sin alpha,...

If `A=[[cos alpha,-sin alpha],[sin alpha,cos alpha]],` then for what value of `alpha` is `A` an identity matrix?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`A = [[cos alpha,-sin alpha],[sin alpha,cosalpha]]`
For `A` to be an identity matrix,
`A` should be `[[1,0],[0,1]]`.
`:. [[cos alpha,-sin alpha],[sin alpha,cosalpha]] = [[1,0],[0,1]]`
`=>cos alpha = 1 and sin alpha = 0`
`=>cos alpha = cos 0^@ and sin alpha =sin0^@`
`:. alpha = 0`
General solution can be `alpha = 2npi`, where `n` is an integer.
