Condition of Collinearity of Three Points


Let three points are A
(x, y), B(x, y)and C(X3, Y3)
then these points will be collinear,
if
Area of AABC=0
X1 y1 1
*2 Y2 1 =0

Equation of Straight Line Passing Through two Points


Let two points are A
(x1, y1) and B (X2, y2) and P (x, y)
be a point on the line joining points A and B, then equation
line can be find out using following determinant. ie.,
y 1
X y1 1=0
X2 Y2 1 S
AADJOINT OF A SQUARE MATRIX Properties of Adjoint of Matrix
1. (adj A)A =A (adjA) =|A|-
Let A =

is square matrix of order n and let C be
a

the co-factor of a, in the determinant|A |. Then the adjoint of A 2. adj A| =|A |"-, if| A | +0
is denoted by adj (A), is defined as the transpose of the co-factor 3. adj (AB) =

The
4. =A (adj A) =0
adjoint of a square matrix A is obtained by replacing 5. adj(adjA) =|A "-2.A

7. Adjoint of a diagonal matrix is a diagonal matrix.


INVERSE OF A MATRIX
Tf two matrices of same order are A and B, for which
AB BA =In
Then B is known as inverse of A, i.e.,

Every squarematrixis not invertiable.


If A0 then Ais invertiable and its inverse is unique.
Properties of Inverse of a Matrix
IfA, B and C are three matrices of same order and | A | # 0,
then
1. (a) AB= AC » B =C (Left cancellation law)
(b) BA =CA B =C (Right cancellation law)
2. (a) (AB)' =B'A-1
