Find the inverse of the matrix:
open square brackets table row 1 cell space 0 end cell cell space 0 end cell row 0 cell space space cos space straight alpha end cell cell space space sin space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell space sin space straight alpha end cell cell space space minus cos space straight alpha end cell end table close square brackets



 

Solution
Let space straight A space equals space open square brackets table row 1 cell space space space 0 end cell cell space space space 0 end cell row 0 cell space space cos space straight alpha end cell cell space sin space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell space sin space straight alpha end cell cell space space minus cos space straight alpha end cell end table close square brackets
space space space space space space space open vertical bar straight A close vertical bar space equals space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space 0 end cell cell space 0 end cell row 0 cell cos space straight alpha end cell cell sin space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell sin space straight alpha end cell cell negative cos space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space 1 open vertical bar table row cell cos space straight alpha end cell cell space space space sin space straight alpha end cell row cell sin space straight alpha end cell cell negative cos space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar
space space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals negative cos squared straight alpha minus sin squared straight alpha space equals space minus left parenthesis cos squared straight alpha space plus space sin space squared straight alpha right parenthesis space equals space minus 1 space not equal to 0
therefore space space straight A to the power of negative 1 end exponent space exists.
Co-factors of the elements of first row of | A | are 
open vertical bar table row cell cos space straight alpha end cell cell space space space sin space straight alpha end cell row cell sin space straight alpha end cell cell negative cos space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space space minus open vertical bar table row 0 cell space space space sin space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell negative cos space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space open vertical bar table row 0 cell space space space space space cos space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell space space space minus space sin space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar

i.e. α cos2 α sin2 α 0 , 0   i.e. – 1, 0, 0 respectively.
Co-factors of the elements of second row of | A | are
negative open vertical bar table row 0 cell space space space space 0 end cell row cell sin space straight alpha end cell cell space space space minus cos space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space space space space space space 0 end cell row 0 cell space space space minus cos space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space space minus open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space space 0 end cell row 0 cell space space space sin space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar

i.e. 0, cos α, – sin α, respectively.
Co-factors of the elements of third row of | A | are
open vertical bar table row 0 cell space space space 0 end cell row cell cos space space straight alpha end cell cell space space sin space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space minus open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space 0 end cell row 0 cell space space sin space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space space 0 end cell row 0 cell space space space space cos space straight alpha end cell end table close vertical bar
i.e. 0, – sin α, cos α respectively.
therefore space space space adj space straight A space equals space open square brackets table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 0 end cell cell space space space space 0 end cell row 0 cell negative cos space straight alpha end cell cell space space minus sin space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell negative sin space straight alpha end cell cell space space cos space straight alpha end cell end table close square brackets space space space open square brackets table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 0 end cell cell space 0 end cell row 0 cell negative cos space straight alpha end cell cell space space space minus sin space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell negative sin space straight alpha end cell cell space cos space straight alpha end cell end table close square brackets
therefore space space space space straight A to the power of negative 1 end exponent space equals fraction numerator adj. space straight A over denominator open vertical bar straight A close vertical bar end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 1 end fraction open square brackets table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space space 0 end cell cell space space 0 end cell row 0 cell space space minus cos space straight alpha end cell cell space minus sin space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell negative space sin space straight alpha end cell cell space cos space straight alpha end cell end table close square brackets space equals open square brackets table row 1 0 cell space space 0 end cell row 0 cell cos space straight alpha end cell cell sin space straight alpha end cell row 0 cell sin space straight alpha end cell cell negative cos space straight alpha end cell end table close square brackets.
