Question: If the n×nmatrices Aand Bare symmetric and Bis invertible, which of the matrices in Exercise 13 through 20 must be symmetric as well?A+B.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Matrix A + B is symmetric.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of symmetric matrix.

A square matrix is symmetric matrix ifA=AT

02

Verification whether the given matrix is symmetric.

Given that A and B are symmetric matrices and B is invertible.

Since A is symmetric, then A=AT.

Then by properties of transpose,A+BT=AT+BT=A+B it gives,

Therefore, A + B is a symmetric matrix.
