Is the inverse of a symmetric matrix also symmetric?

Yes, the inverse of a symmetric matrix is also symmetric.

Take the symmetric matrix A, we have:

AA^{-1} = I

and

I^{T} = I

This gives:

(AA^{-1})^{T} = AA^{-1}

Using the properties:

AA^{-1} = A^{-1}A and (AA^{-1})^{T} = (A^{-1})^{T}A^{T}

We get:

(A^{-1})^{T}A^{T} = A^{-1}A

Since A^{T} = A, we can perform the substitution to get:

(A^{-1})^{T}A = A^{-1}A

Multiplying by A^{-1} on both sides:

(A^{-1})^{T}AA^{-1} = A^{-1}AA^{-1}

(A^{-1})^{T}I = A^{-1}I

(A^{-1})^{T} = A^{-1}

Proving that the inverse of a symmetric matrix is also symmetric.
