Options:
  • A $\operatorname{det} A(\pi+\theta)=\operatorname{det} A(-\theta)$
  • B $\operatorname{det} A(-\theta)=\operatorname{det} A(\theta)$
  • C $\operatorname{det}[A(\theta)]^{-1}=1$
  • D $\operatorname{det} A(-\theta)=-1$

The correct answer is: $\operatorname{det}[A(\theta)]^{-1}=1$
$A(\theta)=\left[\begin{array}{cc}i \sin \theta & \cos \theta \\ \cos \theta & i \sin \theta\end{array}\right]$
where $i=\sqrt{-1}$
$\therefore|A(\theta)|=i^2 \sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta$
$=-\left(\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta\right)=-1$
$\operatorname{adj} A(\theta)=\left[\begin{array}{cc}i \sin \theta & -\cos \theta \\ -\cos \theta & i \sin \theta\end{array}\right]$
$\therefore(A(\theta))^{-1}=\frac{1}{-1}\left[\begin{array}{cc}i \sin \theta & -\cos \theta \\ -\cos \theta & i \sin \theta\end{array}\right]$
$\left|A(\theta)^{-1}\right|=-\left\{i^2 \sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta\right\}$
$\begin{aligned} & =-\left(-\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta\right) \\ & =-(-1)=1\end{aligned}$
