Let A and B be two nonsingular square ma...

Let A and B be two nonsingular square matrices, `A^(T)` and `B^(T)` are the tranpose matrices of A and B, respectively, then which of the following are coorect ?

A

`B^(T)AB` is symmetric matrix if A is symmetric

B

`B^(T)AB` is symmetric matrix if B is symmetric

C

`B^(T)AB` is skew-symmetric matrix for every matrix A

D

`B^(T)AB` is skew-symmetric matrix if A is skew-symmetric

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
`(B^(T)AB)^(T)=B^(T)A^(T) (B^(T))^(T)=B^(T)A^(T)B=B^(T)AB` if `A` is symmetric.
Therefore, `B^(T)AB` is symmetric if A is symmetric.
Also, `(B^(T)AB)^(T)=B^(T)A^(T)B=B^(T) (-A) B=-(B^(T)A^(T)B)`
Therefore, `B^(T) AB` if A is skew-symmetric if A is skew-symmetric.
