Let A=(cosA -sinA)
(sinA cosA)
show that
A^2=(cos2A sin2A)
(sin2A cos2A)
A^2 = (cosA-sinA)^2 (sinAcosA)^2
= (cos^2A-2sinAcosA+sin^2A)(sin^2Acos^2A)
= (1-2sinAcosA)(1/4)(2sinAcosA)^2
= (1/4)(1-sin2A)(sin2A)(sin2A)
Hmmm. What if A = -pi/4?
(1/√2 + 1/√2)(-1/√2 * 1/√2) =? (0)(0)
-1/√2 =? 0
Nope. I don't think it's true. Typo?
To show that A^2 is equal to the given matrix, we need to perform the matrix multiplication. Here are the steps to do it:
1. Start with matrix A:
A = (cosA -sinA)
(sinA cosA)
2. Square the matrix A by multiplying it with itself:
A^2 = A * A
3. Perform matrix multiplication by multiplying corresponding elements of each row with each column:
A^2 =[(cosA * cosA) + (-sinA * sinA) (cosA * -sinA) + (-sinA * cosA)]
[(sinA * cosA) + (cosA * sinA) (sinA * -sinA) + (cosA * cosA)]
4. Simplify each term:
A^2 = [cos^2(A) + sin^2(A) -cos(A) * sin(A) - sin(A) * cos(A)]
[sin(A) * cos(A) + cos(A) * sin(A) -sin^2(A) + cos^2(A)]
5. Use trigonometric identities to simplify:
A^2 = [1 0]
[0 1]
By substituting the values of cos^2(A) + sin^2(A) = 1 and -sin(A) * cos(A) - sin(A) * cos(A) = 0, we get:
A^2 = [(1) (0)]
[(0) (1)]
This matches the given matrix:
A^2 = (cos(2A) sin(2A))
(sin(2A) cos(2A))
Thus, we have shown that A^2 is equal to the given matrix.
