If A=[a(i j)] is a square matrix such ...

If `A=[a_(i j)]` is a square matrix such that `a_(i j)=i^2-j^2` , then write whether `A` is symmetric or skew-symmetric.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: `A=[a_(i j)]`is a square matrix such that `a_(i j)=i^2-j^2`
Now, `a_(i i)=i^2-i^2=0` and `a_(j i)=j^2-i^2=-(i^2-j^2)=-a_(ij)`
Hence `a_(ji)=-a_(i j)` for `i !=j` and `a_(ii)=0` for all `i,j`
`implies A^T=-A`
Therefore, A is a skew-symmetric matrix.
