ASSIGNMENT

MTH102

April 1, 2023

Answer the following questions.


1. Check whether A + B, AB are defined in the cases below. Compute them when
possible.
 
!  2 5
2 5 1
(a) A = , B =  1 7
 
1 7 11
11 9
 
! !
2 5 1 2 5 1
(b) A = ,B=
1 7 11 1 7 0
2. If A and B are square matrices of the same size, does the equality (A + B)(A − B) =
A2 − B2 hold good? Give reasons.
3. Let A be a square matrix. Show that A + AT is a symmetric and A − AT is a
skew-symmetric matrix.
4. Show that any square matrix can be UNIQUELY expressed as a sum of a symmetric
matrix and a skew-symmetric matrix.
5. (a) If A is a symmetric matrix of size m × m and P is an m × n matrix, prove that
PT AP is a symmetric matrix of size n × n.
(b) If A is a skew-symmetric matrix of size m × m and P is an m × n matrix, prove
that PT AP is a skew-symmetric matrix of size n × n.
6. If A, B are two upper triangular matrices of the same size and c is a scalar, show
that A + cB, AB are also upper triangular matrices. Moreover show that
(A + cB)[i, i] = A[i, i] + cB[i, i]
(AB)[i, i] = A[i, i]B[i, i]
Does a similar equality hold for (i, j)-th entry where i , j.
