Let \(n \geq 2\) be an integer. \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\cos (2 \pi / n) & \sin (2 \pi / n) & 0 \\ -\sin (2 \pi / n) & \cos (2 \pi / n) & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\) and \(I\) is the identity matrix of order 3 . Then,

  1. A \(A^{n}=I\) and \(A^{n-1} \neq I\)
  2. B \(A^{m} \neq I\) for any positive integer \(m\)
  3. C \(A\) is not invertible
  4. D \(A^{m}=O\) for a positive integer \(m\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(A^{n}=I\) and \(A^{n-1} \neq I\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{n}\right) & \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{n}\right) & 0 \\ -\sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{n}\right) & \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{n}\right) & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\) Now,…
