(i) Show that the matrix, A=⎡⎢⎣1−15−121513⎤⎥⎦ is a symmetric matrix
(ii) Show that the matrix, A=⎡⎢⎣01−1−1011−10⎤⎥⎦ is a skew -symmetric matrix.
(i) Here, A′=⎡⎢⎣1−15−121513⎤⎥⎦=⎡⎢⎣1−15−121513⎤⎥⎦=a∴A′=A
Hence, A is a symmetric matrix.
(ii) Now, A′=⎡⎢⎣01−1−1011−10⎤⎥⎦′=⎡⎢⎣0−1110−1−110⎤⎥⎦=−⎡⎢⎣01−1−1011−10⎤⎥⎦=−A
∴A′=−A. Hence, A is skew-symmetric matrix.
