Math Problem Statement

Matrix A is defined by A = [[-1, -sqrt(3)], [sqrt(3), -1]]. (i) Calculate the matrix.

Solution

The matrix AA in the image is given by:

A=(1331)A = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & -\sqrt{3} \\ \sqrt{3} & -1 \end{pmatrix}

For part (i), which is asking to "Calculate the matrix", there could be further information needed (possibly determinant, inverse, etc.), but it is not clear in the current image. Could you provide additional parts of the question or clarify what you need specifically from matrix AA?

Potential tasks related to this matrix could be:

  1. Determining the determinant of the matrix AA.
  2. Finding the inverse of the matrix AA (if it exists).
  3. Calculating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
  4. Verifying if AA is orthogonal or symmetric.
  5. Diagonalizing the matrix AA, if possible.

Let me know which aspect you'd like to explore!


Tip: When working with square matrices, always check their determinant to determine properties like invertibility.

Formulas

Determinant of a 2x2 matrix: det(A) = ad - bc for A = [[a, b], [c, d]]
Inverse of a matrix: A^(-1) = (1/det(A)) * adj(A) if det(A) ≠ 0

Theorems

Invertibility Theorem: A square matrix is invertible if and only if its determinant is non-zero.
Eigenvalue Theorem: Eigenvalues are solutions to det(A - λI) = 0
