Matrices and Determinants 3 Question 6

7. If A is a 3×3 non-singular matrix such that AAT=ATA and B=A1AT, then BBT is equal to

(a) I+B

(b) I

(c) B1

(d) (B1)T

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. (b)

Solution:

  1. PLAN: Use the following properties of transpose

(AB)T=BTAT,(AT)T=A and A1A=I and simplify. If A is non-singular matrix, then |A|0.

Given, AAT=ATA and B=A1AT

BBT=(A1AT)(A1AT)T=A1ATA(A1)T[(AB)T=BTAT]=A1AAT(A1)T[AAT=ATA]=IAT(A1)T[A1A=I]=AT(A1)T=(A1A)T=IT=I
