Prove that if b is a square matrix then b+b^t is symmetric

1 answer:

6 0

A matrix $\mathbf X$ is symmetric if $\mathbf X=\mathbf X^\top$ . We have

$(\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+(\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+\mathbf B=\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top$

and so $\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top$ is indeed symmetric.

Kryger [21]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-11})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-(-11)}{-2-(-5)}\implies \cfrac{1+11}{-2+5}\implies \cfrac{12}{3}\implies 4 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-11)=4[x-(-5)]\implies y+11=4(x+5) \\\\\\ y+11=4x+20\implies y=4x+9$
