Ex 3.3, 10 Express the following matrices as the sum of a symmetric and a skew symmetric matrix: (i) [■8(3&[email protected]&−1)] Let A = [■8(3&[email protected]&−1)] A’ = [■8(3&[email protected]&−1)] 1/2 (A + A’) = 1/2 ([■8(3&[email protected]&−1)]+ [■8(3&[email protected]&−1)]) = 1/2 [■8(6&[email protected]&−2)] = [■8(3&[email protected]&−1)] 1/2 (A – A’) = 1/2 ([■8(3&[email protected]&−1)]" − " [■8(3&[email protected]&−1)]) = 1/2 [■8(0&[email protected]−4&0)] = [■8(0&[email protected]−2&0)] Let, P = 𝟏/𝟐 (A + A’) = [■8(3&[email protected]&−1)] P’ = [■8(3&[email protected]&−1)] = P Since P‘ = P P is a symmetric matrix. Let, Q = 𝟏/𝟐 (A − A’) = [■8(0&[email protected]−2&0)] Q’ = [■8(0&−[email protected]&0)] = – [■8(0&[email protected]−2&0)]= −Q Since Q’ = − Q Q is a skew symmetric matrix. Now, P + Q = 1/2 (A + A’) + 1/2 (A − A’) = A Thus, A is a sum of symmetric & skew symmetric matrix
