what???
2.7
7. True or False
a. The block matrix [0 A / A 0 ] is automatically symmetric.
If it's symmetric along it's diagonal, A = A^T. So why isn't this true? It also holds true for a 3 x 3.
b. If A and B are symmetric then their product AB is symmetric.
Seems like it to me.
c. If A is not symmetric then A^-1 is not symmetric.
Yay, got 1 right :p
d. When A, B, C are symmetric, the transpose of ABC is CBA.
Hmm ... I did all that work and wrong? I want to sleep!
Ok, I got all these wrong except c. I kinda figured when I got True for all. LOL, someone plz help me :)
