The matrix [ array cc 0 & -4+i 4+i & 0 array ] is

The matrix \left[0−4+i4+i0\begin{array}{cc}0 & -4+i \\ 4+i & 0\end{array}$\right] is$

Options

  1. Asymmetric
  2. Bskew-symmetric
  3. CHermitian
  4. Dskew-Hermitian

Correct answer

D. skew-Hermitian

Step-by-step solution

The given matrix A=\left[0−4+i4+i0\begin{array}{cc}0 & -4+\mathrm{i} \\ 4+\mathrm{i} & 0\end{array}\right] Now, from options: From option (A): For Symmetric matrix AT=A\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{A} Now, A^{\mathrm{T}}=\left[04+i−4+i0\begin{array}{cc}0 & 4+\mathrm{i} \\ -4+\mathrm{i} & 0\end{array}\right] \neq \mathrm{A}\therefore \quad The given matrix is not symmetric ∴\therefore \quad option (A) is wrong. From option (B): For Skew-symmetric matrix AT=−A=[04+i−4+i0]≠−A\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}=-\mathrm{A} \\ & =\left[\begin{array}{cc} 0 & 4+\mathrm{i} \\ -4+\mathrm{i} & 0 \end{array}\right] \neq-\mathrm{A} \end{aligned}\therefore \quadGivenmatrixisnotskew−symmetricGiven matrix is not skew-symmetric\therefore \quadoption(B)iswrong.Fromoption(C):ForHermitianmatrixoption (B) is wrong. From option (C): For Hermitian matrixA^T=\bar{A},where, where\bar{A}isconjugateofmatrixis conjugate of matrixA\bar{A}=\left[0−4−i4−i0\begin{array}{cc}0 & -4-i \\ 4-\mathrm{i} & 0\end{array}\right] \neq \mathrm{A}^T\therefore \quadoption(C)iswrong.Fromoption(D):ForSkew−HermitianmatrixThediagonalelementofaskew−hermitianmatrixarepureimaginaryorzero.option (C) is wrong. From option (D): For Skew-Hermitian matrix The diagonal element of a skew-hermitian matrix are pure imaginary or zero.\mathrm{A}=\left[0−4+i4+i0\begin{array}{cc} 0 & -4+\mathrm{i} \\ 4+\mathrm{i} & 0 \end{array}\right]Here,diagonalelementindicatesthatthegivenmatrixisskew−hermitianmatrix.Here, diagonal element indicates that the given matrix is skew-hermitian matrix.\therefore \quad$ option (D) is correct.
