Question

If A equals open square brackets table row 4 cell x plus 2 end cell row cell 2 x minus 3 end cell cell x plus 1 end cell end table close square brackets is symmetric then trace of A  is

  1. 5    
  2. -10    
  3. 10    
  4. 15    

hintHint:

A square matrix B which of size n × n is considered to be symmetric if and only if BT = B. Consider the given matrix B, that is, a square matrix that is equal to the transposed form of that matrix, called a symmetric matrix.
This can be represented as: If B = [bij]n×n is the symmetric matrix, then bij = b subscript j i end subscript for all i and j or 1 ≤ i ≤ n, and 1 ≤ j ≤ n. Here,
  • n is any natural number.
  • bi is an element at position (i, j) which is ith row and jth column in matrix B and
  • bji is an element at position (j, i) which is jth row and ith column in matrix B.

The correct answer is: 10


    Given A equals open square brackets table row 4 cell x plus 2 end cell row cell 2 x minus 3 end cell cell x plus 1 end cell end table close square brackets is symmetric.
