In transpose of a matrix,
- Rows become columns and,
-
Column become rows
For matrix
It’s transpose is
We denote it by A’
Similarly for
Let’s look at some properties of transpose
Properties of transpose of a matrix
- (A’)’ = A
- (kA)’ = kA’
- (A + B)’ = A’ + B’
- (AB)’ = B’ A’
Let’s try to prove them one by one
Let
(A’)’ = A
Therefore,
(A’)’ = A
Therefore,
(4A)’ = 4A’
(A + B)’ = A’ + B’
(AB)’ = B’ A’
Therefore,
(AB)’ = B’ A’
