If A is a skew symmetric matrix, then A²⁰²¹ is
Options
- ARow matrix
- BColumn matrix
- CSymmetric matrix
- DSkew symmetric matrix
Correct answer
D. Skew symmetric matrix
Step-by-step solution
Given, A^T=-A Let aligned P & =A²⁰²¹ P^T & = [A²⁰²¹ ]^T= [A^T ]²⁰²¹ & =[-A]²⁰²¹=-[A]²⁰²¹=-P aligned Hence, A²⁰²¹ is also a skew symmetric matrix.
