Question : 2
Total: 29
If A = [
cosαsinα
sinαcosα
]
, then for what value of α is A an identity matrix?
Solution:  
Matrix A is a matrix of order 2.
Identity matrix of second order is [
10
01
]

For A to be an identity matrix,
[
10
01
]
= [
cosαsinα
sinαcosα
]

⇒ cos α = 1 and sin α = 0
⇒ cos α = cos 0° and sin σ = sin 0°
⇒ α = 0°
Thus, for α = 0° , A is an identity matrix
