Matrices Exercise: 3.3

Question 1(i). Find the transpose of each of the following matrices:

\begin{bmatrix} 5\\ \frac{1}{2} \\-1 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A=\begin{bmatrix} 5\\ \frac{1}{2} \\-1 \end{bmatrix}

The transpose of the given matrix is

A^{T}=\begin{bmatrix} 5& \frac{1}{2} &-1 \end{bmatrix}

Question 1(ii). Find the transpose of each of the following matrices:

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

interchanging the rows and columns of the matrix A we get

A^{T}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2\\ -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

Question 1(iii) Find the transpose of each of the following matrices:

\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 5 & 6\\ \sqrt3& 5 &6 \\ 2 &3 &-1 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 5 & 6\\ \sqrt3& 5 &6 \\ 2 &3 &-1 \end{bmatrix}

Transpose is obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of matrix

A^{T} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & \sqrt3 & 2\\ 5& 5 &3 \\ 6 &6 &-1 \end{bmatrix}

Question 2(i). If A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 3\\ 5 &7 &9 \\ -2 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} and B = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1 & -5\\ 1 &2 &0 \\ 1 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, then verify

(A + B)' = A' + B'

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 3\\ 5 &7 &9 \\ -2 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} and B = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1 & -5\\ 1 &2 &0 \\ 1 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

(A + B)' = A' + B'

L.H.S : (A + B)'

A+B = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 3\\ 5 &7 &9 \\ -2 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1 & -5\\ 1 &2 &0 \\ 1 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

A+B = \begin{bmatrix} -1+(-4) & 2+1 & 3+(-5)\\ 5+1 &7+2 &9+0 \\ -2+1 & 1+3 & 1+1 \end{bmatrix}

A+B = \begin{bmatrix} -5 & 3 & -2\\ 6 &9 &9 \\ -1 & 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

(A+B)' = \begin{bmatrix} -5 & 6 & -1\\ 3 &9 &4 \\ -2 & 9 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

R.H.S : A' + B'

A'+B' = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 5 & -2\\ 2 &7 &1 \\ 3 & 9 & 1 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1 & 1\\ 1 &2 &3\\ -5 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

A'+B' = \begin{bmatrix} -1+(-4) & 5+1 & -2+1\\ 2+1 &7+2 &1+3 \\ 3+(-5) & 9+0 & 1+1 \end{bmatrix}

A'+B' = \begin{bmatrix} -5 & 6 & -1\\ 3 &9 &4 \\ -2 & 9 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

Thus we find that the LHS is equal to RHS and hence verified.

Question 2(ii). If A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 3\\ 5 &7 &9 \\ -2 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} and B = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1 & -5\\ 1 &2 &0 \\ 1 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, then verify

(A - B)' = A' - B'

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 3\\ 5 &7 &9 \\ -2 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} and B = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1 & -5\\ 1 &2 &0 \\ 1 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

(A - B)' = A' - B'

L.H.S : (A - B)'

A-B = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 3\\ 5 &7 &9 \\ -2 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1 & -5\\ 1 &2 &0 \\ 1 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

A-B = \begin{bmatrix} -1-(-4) & 2-1 & 3-(-5)\\ 5-1 &7-2 &9-0 \\ -2-1 & 1-3 & 1-1 \end{bmatrix}

A-B = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 & 8\\ 4 &5 &9 \\ -3 & -2& 0 \end{bmatrix}

(A-B)' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 & -3\\ 1 &5 &-2 \\ 8 & 9& 0 \end{bmatrix}

R.H.S : A' - B'

A'-B' = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 5 & -2\\ 2 &7 &1 \\ 3 & 9 & 1 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1 & 1\\ 1 &2 &3\\ -5 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

A'-B' = \begin{bmatrix} -1-(-4) & 5-1 & -2-1\\ 2-1 &7-2 &1-3 \\ 3-(-5) & 9-0 & 1-1 \end{bmatrix}

A'-B' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 & -3\\ 1 &5 &-2 \\ 8 & 9& 0 \end{bmatrix}

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S. so verified that

(A - B)' = A' - B'.

Question 3(i). If A' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4\\ -1 &2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} and B = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 1\\ 1 &2 &3 \end{bmatrix}, then verify

(A + B)' = A' + B'

Answer:

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4\\ -1 &2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} B = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 1\\ 1 &2 &3 \end{bmatrix}

A=(A')' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1&0\\ 4 &2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

To prove: (A + B)' = A' + B'

L.H.S : (A + B)' =

A+B = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1&0\\ 4 &2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 1\\ 1 &2 &3 \end{bmatrix}

A+B = \begin{bmatrix} 3+(-1) & -1+(-1)&0+1\\ 4+1 &2+2 & 1+3 \end{bmatrix}

A+B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -2&1\\ 5 &4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

\therefore \, \, \, (A+B)' = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 5\\ 1 &4\\1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

R.H.S: A' + B'

A'+B' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4\\ -1 &2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1\\ 2 &2 \\ 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

A'+B' = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 5\\ 1 &4 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S i.e. (A + B)' = A' + B'.

Question 3(ii). If A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4\\ -1 &2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} and B = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 1\\ 1 &2 &3 \end{bmatrix}, then verify

(A - B)' = A' - B'

Answer:

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4\\ -1 &2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} B = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 1\\ 1 &2 &3 \end{bmatrix}

A=(A')' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1&0\\ 4 &2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

To prove: (A - B)' = A' - B'

L.H.S : (A - B)' =

A-B = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1&0\\ 4 &2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 1\\ 1 &2 &3 \end{bmatrix}

A-B = \begin{bmatrix} 3-(-1) & -1-(2)&0-1\\ 4-1 &2-2 & 1-3 \end{bmatrix}

A-B = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -3&-1\\ 3 &0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}

\therefore \, \, \, (A-B)' = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 3\\ -3 &0\\-1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}

R.H.S: A' - B'

A'-B' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4\\ -1 &2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1\\ 2 &2 \\ 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

A'-B' = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 3\\ -3 &0 \\ -1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S i.e. (A - B)' = A' - B'.

Question 4. If A' = \begin{bmatrix} -2 & 3\\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} and B= \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0\\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}, then find (A + 2B)'

Answer:

B= \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0\\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A' = \begin{bmatrix} -2 & 3\\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A=(A')' = \begin{bmatrix} -2 & 1\\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

(A + 2B)' :

A+2B = \begin{bmatrix} -2 & 1\\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}+2 \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0\\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A+2B = \begin{bmatrix} -2 & 1\\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}+ \begin{bmatrix} -2 & 0\\ 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

A+2B = \begin{bmatrix} -2+(-2) & 1+0\\ 3+2 & 2+4 \end{bmatrix}

A+2B = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 1\\ 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

Transpose is obtained by interchanging rows and columns and the transpose of A+2B is

(A+2B)' = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 5\\ 1 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

Question 5(i) For the matrices A and B, verify that (AB)' = B'A', where

A = \begin{bmatrix} 1\\-4 \\3 \end{bmatrix}, B = \begin{bmatrix} -1& 2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 1\\-4 \\3 \end{bmatrix}, B = \begin{bmatrix} -1& 2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

To prove : (AB)' = B'A'

L.H.S : (AB)'

AB = \begin{bmatrix} 1\\-4 \\3 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} -1& 2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

AB = \begin{bmatrix} -1&2&1\\4&-8&-4 \\-3 &6&3\end{bmatrix}

(AB)' = \begin{bmatrix} -1&4&-3\\2&-8&6 \\1 &-4&3\end{bmatrix}

R.H.S : B'A'

B' = \begin{bmatrix} -1\\2 \\1 \end{bmatrix}

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 1& -4 &3 \end{bmatrix}

B'A' = \begin{bmatrix} -1\\2 \\1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1& -4 &3 \end{bmatrix}

B'A' = \begin{bmatrix} -1&4&-3\\2&-8&6 \\1&-4&3 \end{bmatrix}

Hence, L.H.S =R.H.S

so it is verified that (AB)' = B'A'.

Question 5(ii) For the matrices A and B, verify that (AB)' = B'A', where

A = \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 1\\ 2 \end{bmatrix}, B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5&7 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 1\\ 2 \end{bmatrix}, B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5&7 \end{bmatrix}

To prove : (AB)' = B'A'

L.H.S : (AB)'

AB = \begin{bmatrix} 0\\1 \\2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1& 5 &7 \end{bmatrix}

AB = \begin{bmatrix} 0&0&0\\1&5&7 \\2 &10&14\end{bmatrix}

(AB)' = \begin{bmatrix} 0&1&2\\0&5&10 \\0 &7&14\end{bmatrix}

R.H.S : B'A'

B' = \begin{bmatrix} 1\\5 \\7 \end{bmatrix}

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 0& 1 &2 \end{bmatrix}

B'A' = \begin{bmatrix} 1\\5 \\7 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 0& 1 &2 \end{bmatrix}

B'A' = \begin{bmatrix} 0&1&2\\0&5&10 \\0&7&14 \end{bmatrix}

Heence, L.H.S =R.H.S i.e.(AB)' = B'A'.

Question 6(i). If A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \\ -\sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}, then verify that A'A =I

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \\ -\sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}

By interchanging rows and columns we get transpose of A

A' = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha \\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}

To prove: A'A =I

L.H.S :A'A

A'A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha \\ \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \\ -\sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}

A'A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos^{2}\alpha + \sin ^{2}\alpha & \sin\alpha \cos \alpha - \sin \alpha \ cos \alpha \\ \sin\alpha \cos \alpha - \sin \alpha \cos \alpha & \ sin^{2}\alpha +\cos^{2}\alpha \end{bmatrix}

A'A = \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0 \\ 0& 1 \end{bmatrix}=I=R.H.S

Question 6(ii). If A = \begin{bmatrix} \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \\ -\cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \end{bmatrix}, then verify that A'A = I

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \\ -\cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \end{bmatrix}

By interchanging columns and rows of the matrix A we get the transpose of A

A' = \begin{bmatrix} \sin\alpha & -\cos\alpha \\ \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \end{bmatrix}

To prove: A'A =I

L.H.S :A'A

A'A = \begin{bmatrix} \sin\alpha & -\cos\alpha \\ \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \sin\alpha & \cos\alpha \\ -\cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \end{bmatrix}

A'A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos^{2}\alpha + \sin ^{2}\alpha & \sin\alpha \cos \alpha - \sin \alpha \ cos \alpha \\ \sin\alpha \cos \alpha - \sin \alpha \cos \alpha & \ sin^{2}\alpha +\cos^{2}\alpha \end{bmatrix}

A'A = \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0 \\ 0& 1 \end{bmatrix}=I=R.H.S

Question 7(i). Show that the matrix A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &- 1& 5\\ -1 & 2 & 1\\ 5 & 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} is a symmetric matrix.

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &- 1& 5\\ -1 & 2 & 1\\ 5 & 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

the transpose of A is

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &- 1& 5\\ -1 & 2 & 1\\ 5 & 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

Since,A' = A so given matrix is a symmetric matrix.

Question 7(ii) Show that the matrix A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -1\\ -1 & 0 &1 \\ 1 & -1 &0 \end{bmatrix} is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -1\\ -1 & 0 &1 \\ 1 & -1 &0 \end{bmatrix}

The transpose of A is

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & 1\\ 1 & 0 &-1 \\- 1 & 1 &0 \end{bmatrix}

A' =- \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -1\\ -1 & 0 &1 \\ 1 & -1 &0 \end{bmatrix}

A' =- A

Since,A' =- A so given matrix is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Question 8(i). For the matrix A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix}, verify that

(A + A') is a symmetric matrix.

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix}

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 6\\ 5 & 7 \end{bmatrix}

A + A'= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 6\\ 5 & 7 \end{bmatrix}

A + A'= \begin{bmatrix} 1+1 & 5+6\\ 6+5 & 7+7 \end{bmatrix}

A + A'= \begin{bmatrix}2 & 11\\ 11& 14 \end{bmatrix}

(A + A')'= \begin{bmatrix}2 & 11\\ 11& 14 \end{bmatrix}

We have A+A'=(A + A')'

Hence , (A + A') is a symmetric matrix.

Question 8(ii) For the matrix A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix}, verify that

(A - A') is a skew symmetric matrix.

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix}

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 6\\ 5 & 7 \end{bmatrix}

A - A'= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 6\\ 5 & 7 \end{bmatrix}

A - A'= \begin{bmatrix} 1-1 & 5-6\\ 6-5 & 7-7 \end{bmatrix}

A - A'= \begin{bmatrix}0 & -1\\ 1& 0 \end{bmatrix}

(A - A')'= \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1\\ -1& 0 \end{bmatrix}=-(A-A')

We have A-A'=-(A - A')'

Hence , (A - A') is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Question 9. Find \frac{1}{2}(A+A') and \frac{1}{2}(A-A'), when A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b\\ -a & 0 & c\\ -b & -c & 0 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b\\ -a & 0 & c\\ -b & -c & 0 \end{bmatrix}

the transpose of the matrix is obtained by interchanging rows and columns

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -a & -b\\ a & 0 & -c\\ b & c & 0 \end{bmatrix}

\frac{1}{2}(A+A') = \frac{1}{2}(\begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b\\ -a & 0 & c\\ -b & -c & 0 \end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix} 0 & -a & -b\\ a & 0 & -c\\ b & c & 0 \end{bmatrix})

\frac{1}{2}(A+A') = \frac{1}{2}(\begin{bmatrix} 0+0 & a+(-a) & b+(-b)\\ -a+a & 0+0 & c+(-c)\\ -b+b & -c+c & 0+0 \end{bmatrix})

\frac{1}{2}(A+A') = \frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

\frac{1}{2}(A+A') = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

\frac{1}{2}(A+A') = 0


\frac{1}{2}(A-A') = \frac{1}{2}(\begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b\\ -a & 0 & c\\ -b & -c & 0 \end{bmatrix}- \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -a & -b\\ a & 0 & -c\\ b & c & 0 \end{bmatrix})

\frac{1}{2}(A-A') = \frac{1}{2}(\begin{bmatrix} 0-0 & a-(-a) & b-(-b)\\ -a-a & 0-0 & c-(-c)\\ -b-b & -c-c & 0-0 \end{bmatrix})

\frac{1}{2}(A-A') = \frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2a &2 b\\ -2a & 0 & 2c\\ -2b & -2c & 0 \end{bmatrix}

\frac{1}{2}(A-A') = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b\\ -a & 0 & c\\ -b & -c & 0 \end{bmatrix}

Question 10(i). Express the following matrices as the sum of a symmetric and a skew symmetric matrix:

\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}

A'=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1\\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix}

A+A'=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1\\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix}

A+A'=\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 6\\ 6 & -2 \end{bmatrix}

Let

B=\frac{1}{2}(A+A')=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 6\\ 6 & -2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3\\ 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}

B'=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3\\ 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}=B

Thus, \frac{1}{2}(A+A') is a symmetric matrix.


A-A'=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1\\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix}

A-A'=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 4\\ -4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

Let

C= \frac{1}{2}(A-A')=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 4\\ -4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2\\ -2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

C'= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -2\\ 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

C=-C'

Thus, \frac{1}{2}(A-A') is a skew symmetric matrix.

Represent A as sum of B and C.

B+C = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3\\ 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2\\ -2 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 1 & -1\end{bmatrix}=A

Question:10(ii). Express the following matrices as the sum of a symmetric and a skew symmetric matrix:

\begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A=\begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

A'=\begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

A+A'=\begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}+ \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

A+A'=\begin{bmatrix} 12 & -4 & 4\\ -4 & 6 & -2\\ 4 & -2 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

Let

B= \frac{1}{2}(A+A')=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 12 & -4 & 4\\ -4 & 6 & -2\\ 4 & -2 & 6 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

B'= \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}=B

Thus, \frac{1}{2}(A+A') is a symmetric matrix.


A-A'=\begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}- \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

A-A'=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0&0\\ 0 & 0&0 \\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}

Let

C= \frac{1}{2}(A-A')=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0&0\\ 0&0 & 0\\0&0&0 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0&0\\ 0&0 & 0\\0&0&0 \end{bmatrix}

C'=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0&0\\ 0&0 & 0\\0&0&0 \end{bmatrix}

C=-C'

Thus, \frac{1}{2}(A-A') is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Represent A as the sum of B and C.

B+C= \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0&0\\ 0&0 & 0\\0&0&0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -2 & 2\\ -2 & 3 & -1\\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}=A

Question 10(iii). Express the following matrices as the sum of a symmetric and a skew symmetric matrix:

\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 & -1\\ -2 & -2 & 1\\ -4 & -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 & -1\\ -2 & -2 & 1\\ -4 & -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A'=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2 & -4\\ 3 & -2 & -5\\ -1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A+A'=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 & -1\\ -2 & -2 & 1\\ -4 & -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2 & -4\\ 3 & -2 & -5\\ -1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A+A'=\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & -5\\ 1& -4 & -4\\ -5 & -4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

Let

B= \frac{1}{2}(A+A')=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & -5\\ 1 & -4 & -4\\ -5 & -4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{5}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2} & -2 & -2\\ \frac{-5}{2} & -2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

B'= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{5}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2} & -2 & -2\\ \frac{-5}{2} & -2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}=B

Thus, \frac{1}{2}(A+A') is a symmetric matrix.


A-A'=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 & -1\\ -2 & -2 & 1\\ -4 & -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2 & -4\\ 3 & -2 & -5\\ -1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A-A'=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 5&3\\ -5 & 0&6 \\-3&-6&0\end{bmatrix}

Let

C= \frac{1}{2}(A-A')=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 5&3\\ -5&0 & 6\\-3&-6&0 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & \frac{5}{2}&\frac{3}{2}\\ -\frac{5}{2}&0 & 3\\\frac{-3}{2}&-3&0 \end{bmatrix}

C'=\begin{bmatrix} 0 &- \frac{5}{2}&-\frac{3}{2}\\ \frac{5}{2}&0 &- 3\\\frac{3}{2}&3&0 \end{bmatrix}

C=-C'

Thus, \frac{1}{2}(A-A') is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Represent A as the sum of B and C.

B+C= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{5}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2} & -2 & -2\\ \frac{-5}{2} & -2 & 2 \end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix} 0 & \frac{5}{2}&\frac{3}{2}\\ -\frac{5}{2}&0 & 3\\\frac{-3}{2}&-3&0 \end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 & -1\\ -2 & -2 & 1\\ -4 & -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}=A

Question 10(iv). Express the following matrices as the sum of a symmetric and a skew symmetric matrix:

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

A =\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A'=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A+A'=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A+A'=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4\\ 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

Let

B=\frac{1}{2}(A+A')=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4\\ 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2\\ 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

B'=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2\\ 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}=B

Thus, \frac{1}{2}(A+A') is a symmetric matrix.

A-A'=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A-A'=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 6\\ -6 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

Let

C= \frac{1}{2}(A-A')=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 6\\ -6 & 0 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 3\\ -3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

C'= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -3\\ 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

C=-C'

Thus, \frac{1}{2}(A-A') is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Represent A as the sum of B and C.

B+C=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2\\ 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -3\\ 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5\\ -1 & 2\end{bmatrix}=A

Question 11 Choose the correct answer in the Exercises 11 and 12.

If A, B are symmetric matrices of same order, then AB – BA is a

(A) Skew symmetric matrix
(B) Symmetric matrix
(C) Zero matrix
(D) Identity matrix

Answer:

If A, B are symmetric matrices then

A'=A and B' = B

we have, \left ( AB-BA \right )'=\left ( AB \right )'-\left ( BA \right )'=B'A'-A'B'

=BA-AB

= -(AB-BA)

Hence, we have (AB-BA) = -(AB-BA)'

Thus,( AB-BA)' is skew symmetric.

Option A is correct.

Question 12 Choose the correct answer in the Exercises 11 and 12.

If A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix} and A+A' =I, then the value of \alpha is

(A) \frac{\pi}{6}

(B) \frac{\pi}{3}

(C) \pi

(D) \frac{3\pi}{2}

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}

A' = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha\\ -\sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}

A+A' = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}+ \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha\\ -\sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0\\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

A+A' = \begin{bmatrix} 2\cos\alpha & 0\\ 0 & 2\cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0\\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

2 cos \alpha=1

cos \alpha=\frac{1}{2}

\alpha=\frac{\pi}{3}

Option B is correct.
