Question 3.
Identify the singular and non-singular matrices:
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Matrices and Determinants Ex 7.4 4
Solution:
(i) For a given square matrix A,
1. If |A| = 0 then it is a singular matrix.
2. If |A| ≠ 0 then it is a non singular matrix.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Matrices and Determinants Ex 7.4 5
⇒ A is a singular matrix.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Matrices and Determinants Ex 7.4 6
Which is a skew symmetric matrix
∴ |A| = 0 ⇒ A is a singular matrix.

Question 4.
Determine the value of a and b so that the following matrices are singular:
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Matrices and Determinants Ex 7.4 7
Solution:
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Matrices and Determinants Ex 7.4 8
expanding along R1
b(4 + 4) + 7 (-6 – 1) = 0 (given)
8b + 7 (-7) = 0
(i.e.,) 8b – 49 = 0 ⇒ 8b = 49 ⇒ b = 49/8

Question 5.
If cos 2θ = 0, determine \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{\theta} & {\cos \theta} & {\sin \theta} \\ {\cos \theta} & {\sin \theta} & {0} \\ {\sin \theta} & {0} & {\cos \theta}\end{array}\right]^{2}\)

Question 1.
Identify the singular and non-singular matrix.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Matrices and Determinants Ex 7.4 13
Solution:
If the determinant value of a square matrix is zero it is called a singular matrix. Otherwise it is non-singular.
