Short Answer

Expert verified

The relation cosϕ-sinϕsinϕcosϕcosθ-sinθsinθcosθ=cosθ+ϕ-sinθ+ϕsinθ+ϕcosθ+ϕ is verified numerically

for θ=π/2and ϕ=π/4, its numerical value is 12-1-11-1.

Step by step solution

01

The trigonometric values of sine and cosine function for different angles:

The numerical values of the sine and cosine function at π2, π4and 3π4 are,

sin(π2)=1cos(π2)=0sin(π4)=12cos(π4)=12cos(3π4)=-12

02

Given parameters:

The result (6.14) is cosϕ-sinϕsinϕcosϕcosθ-sinθsinθcosθ=cosθ+ϕ-sinθ+ϕsinθ+ϕcosθ+ϕ.

It needs to be verified for θ=π/2and role="math" localid="1658982863554" ϕ=π/4.

03

Finding the numerical values of the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the relation:

Substitute θ=π/2 and ϕ=π/4into the left-hand side of the relation and evaluate the result.

cosπ4-sinπ4sinπ4cosπ4cosπ2-sinπ2sinπ2cosπ2=12-1212120-110

Multiply the matrices.

12-1212120-110=12-1-11-1

Substitute θ=π/2and ϕ=π/4into the right-hand side of the relation (6.14).

cosπ2+π4-sinπ2+π4sinπ2+π4cosπ2+π4=cos3π4-sin3π4sin3π4cos3π4

Evaluate the sine and cosine function.

cos3π4-sin3π4sin3π4cos3π4=12-1-11-1

Hence, the relation (6.14) is verified.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 2: Find the determinant.

The objective is to determine the determinant of .

Add two times the third column in the second column, to get

Now, do the Laplace development using the second column to get

Hence, the value of the determinant is .

A particle is traveling along the line (x-3)/2=(y+1)/(-2)=z-1. Write the equation of its path in the form r=r0+At. Find the distance of closest approach of the particle to the origin (that is, the distance from the origin to the line). If t represents time, show that the time of closest approach is t=-(r0×A)/|A|2. Use this value to check your answer for the distance of closest approach. Hint: See Figure 5.3. If P is the point of closest approach, what is A×r2?

In (9.1) we have defined the adjoint of a matrix as the transpose conjugate. This is the usual definition except in algebra where the adjoint is defined as the transposed matrix of cofactors [see (6.13)]. Show that the two definitions are the same for a unitary matrix with determinant=+1

Verify (6.14) by multiplying the matrices and using trigonometric addition formulas.
