Question : 28
Total: 57
Find the matrix X.
Solution:  
Let X=[
a
b
]

∴[
4sin‌30∘cos‌0∘
cos‌0∘4sin‌30∘
]
[
a
b
]
=[
4
5
]

⇒‌‌[
4asin‌30∘+b‌cos‌0∘
a‌cos‌0∘+4bsin‌30∘
]
=[
4
5
]

⇒‌‌4asin‌30∘+b‌cos‌0∘=4
⇒‌‌4a×‌
1
2
+b×1
=4

⇒‌‌2a+b=4 ........(1)
and ‌‌a‌cos‌0∘+4bsin‌30∘=5
⇒9×1+4b×‌
1
2
‌
=5

⇒‌a+2b‌=5. ...........(2)
Solving eqs (1) & (2), we get
a=1‌ and ‌b=2
Hence X=[
