If A = \(\begin{bmatrix}4& 1 \\[0.3em]5& 8\\[0.3em]\end{bmatrix}\), show that (A + A’) is symmetric.A = [(4,1)(5,8)]

Answer»

Given A = \(\begin{bmatrix}4 &1 \\[0.3em]5 & 8 \\[0.3em]\end{bmatrix}\).

To Prove: A + A’ is symmetric.(Note:A matrix P is symmetric if P’ = P)

Proof: We will find A’,

A' = \(\begin{bmatrix}4 &1 \\[0.3em]5 & 8 \\[0.3em]\end{bmatrix}\)

Now let us take P = A + A’

\(\Rightarrow P'=P\)

Hence A + A’ is a symmetric matrix.
