Differential EquationHard

Question

If A =is a matrix satisfying the equation AAT = 9I, where I is 3 × 3 identity matrix, then the ordered pair (a, b) is equal to :

Options

A.(2, 1)
B.(-2, -1)
C.(2, -1)
D.(-2, 1)

Solution

= I ⇒ is orthogonal matrix

∵ Three rows are corresponding to three mutually perpendicular unit vectors
= 1, a + 2b + 4 = 0 & 2a − 2b + 2 = 0
⇒ a = −2 & b = −1
