Question Number 9 by user1 last updated on 25/Jan/15

Let A= [((   0),(−tan(x/2))),((tan(x/2)),(          0)) ] and I is the  identity matrix of order 2. Show that   (I+A)=(I−A)∙ [((cos x),(−sin x)),((sin x),(    cos x)) ].

$$\mathrm{Let}\:{A}=\begin{bmatrix}{\:\:\:\mathrm{0}}&{−\mathrm{tan}\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}}\\{\mathrm{tan}\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}}&{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{0}}\end{bmatrix}\:\mathrm{and}\:{I}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$$$\mathrm{identity}\:\mathrm{matrix}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{order}\:\mathrm{2}.\:\mathrm{Show}\:\mathrm{that}\: \\ $$$$\left({I}+{A}\right)=\left({I}−{A}\right)\centerdot\begin{bmatrix}{\mathrm{cos}\:{x}}&{−\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}\\{\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}&{\:\:\:\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x}}\end{bmatrix}. \\ $$

Let    tan (x/2)=t  Then,  cos x=((1−tan^2  (x/2))/(1+tan^2  (x/2)))=((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 ))  and   sin x=((2tan (x/2))/(1+tan^2  (x/2)))=((2t)/(1+t^2 ))  ∴  (I+A)= [(1,0),(0,1) ]+ [(0,(−t)),(t,(    0)) ]= [(1,(−t)),(t,(    1)) ]     (I−A)= [(1,0),(0,1) ]− [(0,(−t)),(t,(    0)) ]= [((    1),t),((−t),1) ]  ∴(I−A)∙ [((cos x),(−sin x)),((sin x),(    cos x)) ]  = [((    1),t),((−t),1) ] [(((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 )),((−2t)/(1+t^2 ))),(((2t)/(1+t^2 )),((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 ))) ]  = [((  ((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 ))+((2t^2 )/(1+t^2 ))),( ((−2t)/(1+t^2 ))+((t(1−t^2 ))/(1+t^2 )))),((((−t(1−t^2 ))/(1+t^(2 ) ))+((2t)/(1+t^2 ))),(   ((2t^2 )/(1+t^2 ))+((1−t^2 )/(1+t^(2 ) )))) ]  = [(1,(−t)),(t,(    1)) ]=(I+A)  Hence,  (I+A)=(I−A) [((cos x),(−sin x)),((sin x),(    cos x)) ]
