Study Notes
Matrix Commutation
- Two matrices, A and B, commute if AB = BA
- To determine commutation, multiply the matrices in both orders (AB and BA) and compare the results
Inverting a Matrix
- To find the inverse of a matrix, A, denoted as A⁻¹, use the following steps:
- Calculate the determinant of A (det(A))
- Find the adjoint of A (adj(A))
- Calculate A⁻¹ using the formula: A⁻¹ = (1/det(A)) * adj(A)
Matrix Problem
- This problem involves two matrices, (i) and (ii)
- It asks to determine if the matrices commute and then calculate the inverse of the commuting matrix
Matrix (i)
- Matrix (i) is: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 2 \ 0 & 2 & 1 \ 2 & 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$
- To determine if it commutes, we need to find the product with itself, as the problem states it requires finding whether a matrix commutes with itself.
Matrix (ii)
- Matrix (ii) is: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \ 2 & 3 & 1 \ 3 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
- We need to determine if it commutes with itself by calculating the product of the matrix with itself.
