Special Matrices:
1. Transpose of a Matrix
1|PAGE
Example if [ ], then [ ]
2. Symmetric Matrix:
[ ] then [ ]
Thus A is symmetric
3. Skew Symmetric:
[ ] [ ]
And if [ ], then | |
Hence A is non-singular.
.
Example: Find k if [ ] is singular
2|PAGE
Solution:
Since A is singular so | |
(k – 2)( k + 2) – 5 = 0
k2 – 4 – 5 = 0
k2 – 9 = 0 ⇨ K = ± 3
5. Adjoint of a Matrix:
Let A = (aij) be a square matrix of order n x n and (cij) is a matrix obtained
by replacing each element aij by its corresponding cofactor cij then (cij)t is
called the adjoint of A. It is written as adj. A.
For example, if
[ ]
Cofactor of A are:
A11 = 5, A12 = - 2, A13 = +1
A21 = -1, A22 = 2, A23 = -1
A31 = 3, A32 = -2, A33 = 3
Matrix of cofactors is
[ ]
[ ]
Hence adj A = Ct [ ]
Adj A = [ ]
6. Inverse of a Matrix:
If A is a non-singular square matrix , then | |
3|PAGE
For example if matrix [ ]
Then adj [ ]
| | | |
Hence | |
[ ]
Alternately:
[ ][ ] [ ]
And [ ][ ] [ ]
Hence AB = BA = I
and therefore [ ]
[ ]
Solution:
4|PAGE
Cofactor of A are:
A11 = 0, A12 = 1, A13 = 1
A21 = 2, A22 = –3, A23 = 2
A31 = 3, A32 = –3, A33 = 2
Matrix of transpose of the cofactors is
Adj [ ]
So
