In this question, we have been given that a is an orthogonal matrix.
00:06
Okay, so a is given to be an orthogonal matrix and it is, and we have a matrix b.
00:15
B is a matrix of order 3 by 3 such that determinant of b is given to be minus 5.
00:25
Okay, and then we have been defined a matrix c, which is 1.
00:30
Minus three times of a transpose b cube times a.
00:35
Okay, we need to find out what is the determinant of this matrix c.
00:42
So since a is orthogonal, so it will satisfy, a times of a transpose is equal to a transpose a is equal to identity matrix.
00:52
So if i consider here, what is the determinant of a? so determinant of, if i consider determinant of a times of a transpose, so it will be what equals to determinant of this identity, which is equals to one, correct? and we know this property...
