1. is Symmetric Matrix ?
`[[1,2,3],[2,5,6],[3,6,9]]`
Solution:
A square matrix `A=[a_(ij)]` is said to be a symmetric if `A = A^T` i.e. `a_(ij) = a_(ji)` for all i,j.
`A` | = | | `1` | `2` | `3` | | | `2` | `5` | `6` | | | `3` | `6` | `9` | |
|
`A^T` | = | | `1` | `2` | `3` | | | `2` | `5` | `6` | | | `3` | `6` | `9` | |
| T |
| = | | `1` | `2` | `3` | | | `2` | `5` | `6` | | | `3` | `6` | `9` | |
|
Here, `A` and `A^T` are equal, so `A` is a symmetric matrix
2. is Symmetric Matrix ?
`[[1,3,3],[2,5,6],[3,6,9]]`
Solution:
A square matrix `A=[a_(ij)]` is said to be a symmetric if `A = A^T` i.e. `a_(ij) = a_(ji)` for all i,j.
`A` | = | | `1` | `3` | `3` | | | `2` | `5` | `6` | | | `3` | `6` | `9` | |
|
`A^T` | = | | `1` | `3` | `3` | | | `2` | `5` | `6` | | | `3` | `6` | `9` | |
| T |
| = | | `1` | `2` | `3` | | | `3` | `5` | `6` | | | `3` | `6` | `9` | |
|
Here, `A` and `A^T` are not equal, so `A` is not a symmetric matrix
