*if A is skew symmetric matrix, then I-A is
a. skew symmetric               b. symmetric
c.  singular                          d.  nonsingular
I is identity matrix...
 
 
*ABC r three matricesof the same order such that any 2 r symmetric and remainin 3rd is skew symmetric... now X= ABC +CBA and Y =ABC-CBA, thn (XY)T is
 
a. symmetric               b. skew symmetric
c. -XY                         d. -YX
 
 
 
 
plz. answer these givin complete ans. in ur own words
 
AND PLZ. HELP ME IN SOLVING THESE TYPE OF PROB. WHAT IS TE WAY TO DO THIS....
do u have any article or any information regardin this that u thnk can help me then plz. bring it to my notice............
 
plz..........

1) skew symmetric again ....
because skew symmetric main diagonal acts as mirror and opposite elemnts have alternate signs... example
 2 3 5
-3 2 4
-5 -4 2

now I identity matrix also has 1s along the diagonal.. so the diagonal's value decreases but other elements remain unchanged....
 
1 0 0            2  3  5  
0 1 0     -     -3  2  4   
0 0 1           -5 -4  2
 
=   -1  -3   -5
      3   -1  -4 
      5   4   -1

so it remains skew symmetric... though the signs on opposite sides of diagonal are inter changed and diagonal's value changes

Q 1 : GIVEN A=-AT

(I-A)T=IT-AT=I+A

NOW, | I+A |2 =| I |2+|A|2+2|A||I| = 1+|A|2+2|A| =1 (since we know that for a skew symm matrix of odd order its determinant is zero)

so answer is non singular ...if it is not given that matrix is of odd order..then it will be zero only if det.A is =-1 so again it is nonsingular since it is not given that det.A is -1

* dont mind spidey but your answer seems to be wrong as in skew symm matrix diagnol elements shud be zero which are not coming in your case


Q 2 (XY)T=YTXT=(ABC-CBA)T(ABC+CBA)T=(ATBTCT-CTBTAT)(ATBTCT+CTBTAT)=(AB(-C)-(-C)BA)(AB(-C)+(-C)BA=(-ABC+CBA)(-ABC-CBA)=(ABC-CBA)(ABC+CBA)=YX=

now u can check if XandY commute each other then YX=XY or if they anti commute each other than YX=-XY

A=I is not a skew symmetric case.........first of all when A=I its elements in the diagonal will not be zero which is the required condition for skew symm matrix.......and about your first post, u have considered symm matrix but in question it is given that it is skew symm.......

hey guys,
thnx 4 da response
 but in 2nd prob. what sniper has done ...
dont u thnk (ABC)^T  =  (C^T)(B^T)(A^T).... and so on.....
 
and the ans. shud be only -XY....
but i cudnt understand by what does commute mean and how cud u get XY...
plz. helpme...
 
 
 
and in da first quest.
a matrix is singular if its det. = 0, rit
and why here it cant be singular? will det. of A never be equal to -1...
 
and why do we rule out the symmetric option and see other 2 
 
plz. see dis
thnx

u r right i have done mistake......(ABC)T = CTBTAT only correct it

after correcting u need not worry about commute or anti commute u will straight away get -XY

Q 2 (XY)T=YTXT=(ABC-CBA)T(ABC+CBA)T=(CTBTAT-ATBTCT)(CTBTAT+ATBTCT)=((-C)BA-AB(-C))((-C)BA+AB(-C))=(-CBA+ABC)(-CBA-ABC)

WHEN AB=BA THIS MEANS A AND B COMMUTE EACH OTHER
WHEN AB=-BA THIS MEANS A AND B ANTI COMMUTE EACH OTHER
