NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 3 Matrices · Exercise 3.2 Question 13

For F(x)=\(\left[\begin{matrix}\cos{\left(x \right)} & - \sin{\left(x \right)} & 0\\\sin{\left(x \right)} & \cos{\left(x \right)} & 0\\0 & 0 & 1\end{matrix}\right]\), prove F(x)F(y)=F(x+y).

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Check the matrix orders and the meaning of the requested operation before calculating.
  2. Keep row and column indices in order. Compare corresponding entries only after the matrix expressions have compatible dimensions.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: The identity holds.
  1. Multiply row by column. The upper 2×2 block is \(\left[\begin{matrix}- \sin{\left(x \right)} \sin{\left(y \right)} + \cos{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(y \right)} & - \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(y \right)} - \sin{\left(y \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}\\\sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(y \right)} + \sin{\left(y \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)} & - \sin{\left(x \right)} \sin{\left(y \right)} + \cos{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(y \right)}\end{matrix}\right]\).
  2. Use cos(x+y)=cos x cos y−sin x sin y and sin(x+y)=sin x cos y+cos x sin y.
  3. The last row and column remain (0,0,1). Thus the whole product is \(\left[\begin{matrix}\cos{\left(x + y \right)} & - \sin{\left(x + y \right)} & 0\\\sin{\left(x + y \right)} & \cos{\left(x + y \right)} & 0\\0 & 0 & 1\end{matrix}\right]\)=F(x+y).
