Test: Systems of Linear Equations, Matrix Algebra & Transform Theory- 2 - Question 13

Two matrices A and B are given below:

If the rank of matrix A is N, then the rank of matrix B is

Detailed Solution for Test: Systems of Linear Equations, Matrix Algebra & Transform Theory- 2 - Question 13

Concept:

The order of highest ordered non zero minor is called the rank of a matrix.

Example:

If the square matrix is of order n × n then find the determinant of it if the value is non zero then its rank is n if the value comes out to be zero then find the determinant of  (n - 1) order of all sub-matrix if the value comes out to be non zero of any sub-matrix then the rank is n if the value is zero then the same processes continues further and the order at which value of the determinant is non zero is the rank of a matrix, Use this concept only for order  3 × 3 or lower order for more than 3 × 3 order we use the concept of Echelon form matrix.

Calculation:

The determinant of A is, |A| = ps – qr

Determinant of B is, |B| = (p2 + q2) (r2 + s2) – (pr + qs)2

|B| = (p2s2 + q2r2 – 2pqrs)

|B| = (ps - qr)2

Now, it is clear that |A|2 = |B|

If the rank of A, ρ(A) = 1, that means the determinant of the matrix is zero, and hence the determinant of the matrix also zero. Therefore, the rank of the matrix B is 1

If the rank of A, ρ(A) = 2, that means the determinant of the matrix is non-zero, and hence the determinant of the matrix also non-zero. Therefore, the rank of the matrix B is 2.

Therefore, ρ(B) = ρ(A) = N

Test: Systems of Linear Equations, Matrix Algebra & Transform Theory- 2 - Question 14

A set of linear equations is given in the form Ax = b, where A is a 2 × 4 matrix with real number entries and b ≠ 0. Will it be possible to solve for x and obtain a unique solution by multiplying both left and right sides of the equation by AT (the super script T denotes the transpose) and inverting the matrix AT A? Answer is

Detailed Solution for Test: Systems of Linear Equations, Matrix Algebra & Transform Theory- 2 - Question 14

Concept:

From the properties of a matrix,

The rank of m × n matrix is always ≤ min {m, n}

If the rank of matrix A is ρ(A) and rank of matrix B is ρ(B), then the rank of matrix AB is given by

ρ(AB) ≤ min {ρ(A), ρ(B)}

If n × n matrix is singular, the rank will be less than ≤ n

Calculation:

Given:

AX = B

Where A is 2 × 4 matrices and b ≠ 0

The order of AT is 4 × 2

The order of ATA is 4 × 4

Rank of (A) ≤ min (2, 4) = 2

Rank of (AT) ≤ min (2, 4) = 2

Rank (ATA) ≤ min (2, 2) = 2

As the matrix ATA is of order 4 × 4, to have a unique solution the rank of ATA should be 4.

Therefore, the unique solution of this equation is not possible.

Test: Systems of Linear Equations, Matrix Algebra & Transform Theory- 2 - Question 15

The rank of the following matrix is

Detailed Solution for Test: Systems of Linear Equations, Matrix Algebra & Transform Theory- 2 - Question 15

Concept:

RANK OF A MATRIX:

The rank of a matrix is said to be R if:

(a) It has at least one non-zero minor of order R.

(b) Every minor of A of order higher than R is zero.

[Note: Non-zero row is that row in which all the elements are not zero.]

Calculation:

Given:

Now R2 → R2 – 2R1

Now R3 → R3 – 4R1

Now R3 – (3/2)R2

Number of non-zero rows = rank of the matrix = 2

∴ The rank of the following matrix is 2.

Test: Systems of Linear Equations, Matrix Algebra & Transform Theory- 2 - Question 25

The fundamental period of x(t) = 2 sin πt + 3 sin 3πt, with t expressed in seconds, is 

Detailed Solution for Test: Systems of Linear Equations, Matrix Algebra & Transform Theory- 2 - Question 25

The fundamental period of x(t) = 2 sin(mt) + 3 sin(3mt) is determined by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the individual periods of the sine components.

Periods of individual terms:

For sin(mt), the period is T₁ = 2π / m.

For sin(3mt), the period is T₂ = 2π / (3m).

LCM calculation:

T₂ is a third of T₁. The LCM of T₁ and T₂ is T₁, as T₁ is already a multiple of T₂.

Substituting m = π (assuming m is chosen such that the period simplifies to a numerical value):

T₁ = 2π / π = 2 seconds.

Thus, the fundamental period is 2 seconds.
