If A and B are symmetric matrices of ...

If `A` and `B` are symmetric matrices of the same order, write whether `A B-B A` is symmetric or skew-symmetric or neither of the two.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given that,
`A` and `B` are symmetric matrix
`A^T=A`
`B^T=B`

Now, `(AB-BA)^T=(AB)^T-(BA)^T`
`=B^TA^T-A^TB^T`
`=BA-AB`
`(AB-BA)^T=-(AB-BA)`
