Attempt any fwo parts from each Section. All questions carry equal marks. SECTION I 1. (a) Prove that the equation : a’ cos’ @ + b’ sin? 6 + 2ag cos® + 2bfsind+c=0 has four roots and the sum of these values of @ is an even multiple of 7. 4 |P.T.O.(2) 6732 (6) Sum to nv terms of the series : sin@sin@ + sin? Osin 20 +........+ sin” @sin 70. () If a” is a positive integer, prove that : (1+43)" + 1- V3)" = 2" cos (wn /3) and hence find the value when n = 9. SECTION I (@ (i) Prove that every Hermitian matrix can be expressed as P + iQ, where P and Q are real symmetric and real skew symmetric matrices respectively. (i) Prove that every skew symmetric matrix of,odd order is singular. (6) Reduce the matrix : =e RN nv “coo NWN a |, 0 to the normal form ( 0 0) and hence determine its rank.© @) (©) (3°) 6732 Verify that the matrix : 2-1 1 A=j-1 2 -l 1-1 2 satisfies its own characteristic equation. Is it true for every square matrix. Hence or. otherwise obtain A‘. SECTION Il Solve completely the system of equations : t o x + 3y + 42 + Tw 2x + dy + Sz + 8w " ° 3x + y + 22 + 3w= 0. If a, B, y, 8 be the roots of the equation 7 xt + prt ge trets=0- P.T.O.
