Worked practice questions

For a 3x3 matrix A: (A + Aᵀ) is always:

  1. Skew-symmetric
  2. Symmetric
  3. Zero matrix
  4. Diagonal matrix
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Symmetric

We have (A + Aᵀ)ᵀ = Aᵀ + A. So (A + Aᵀ)ᵀ = A + Aᵀ. Same as original, so symmetric. Similarly (A - Aᵀ) is skew-symmetric.

Order the steps to find the inverse of a 2×2 matrix

Read exercise and reference answers
Steps
  1. Compute the determinant det(A) = ad − bc
  2. Check det(A) ≠ 0 (otherwise no inverse exists)
  3. Swap the diagonal entries: a ↔ d
  4. Negate the off-diagonal entries: b → −b, c → −c
  5. Divide the resulting matrix by det(A)
