Given a matrix m, find the matrix cos((pi)m/6)

Given a matrix M, find the matrix cos((pi)M/6). I solved this question using diagonalizing method. But the answer is changing if I change the positions of the eigenvalues. That is if write the eigenvalues as pi/6 and pi/2. I am getting the answer which is mentioned but if I switch the position and write pi/2 and pi/6, I am getting an answer with the negative signs switched. Can someone help?

    I have also changed the P matrix and D matrix accordingly

    dear, determinant is -1 u took 1

    eduncle-logo-app

    determinant of P is -1( solution: (1*-1)/√2-(1*1)/√2=-1)

    no dear, this will not happen. please note that when u change the position of eigen value then P matrix will also change.. so keep this thing then ur ans will not change.. do it once again..
