So, in the given question we are told that there is a matrix that is given as a is equal to matrix a is given as i 3 minus 3 minus 2 i and we are told to find what type of matrix is this right? so the options are hermitian, option b is skew hermitian, option c is non -singular, and option d is b and c.
00:54
So this is what we are given.
00:57
So first what we can do about this is let's check the easiest one to check over here is if it is non -singual or not, right? if a matrix is singular, then the determinant of this matrix would give us 0.
01:13
So if you take the determinant of i, a, we would have this which is equal to 2 i squared minus 3 times 3 is minus 9.
01:28
So this is equal to minus 2 plus 9 which is equal to 9 minus 2 that is 7.
01:34
So, the matrix a is non -singular, right? if it is singular, the determinant of the matrix would be 0.
01:42
So it is non -singular.
01:44
Now what we need to find if it is either of these, right? if it is b, the option would be d right...
