Question : 28
Total: 57
Find the matrix X.
Solution:  
Let X=[
a
b
]

[
4sin30cos0
cos04sin30
]
[
a
b
]
=[
4
5
]

[
4asin30+bcos0
acos0+4bsin30
]
=[
4
5
]

4asin30+bcos0=4
4a×
1
2
+b×1
=4

2a+b=4 ........(1)
and acos0+4bsin30=5
9×1+4b×
1
2
=5

a+2b=5. ...........(2)
Solving eqs (1) & (2), we get
a=1 and b=2
Hence X=[
1
2
]
