Transpose Of Matrix

Transpose of Matrix:

If A = [ aij ] is an m \times \!\, n matrix, then the transpose of  A is AT = [ aij ] which is an n \times \!\, m matrix. Thus the transpose of A is obtained from A by interchanging the rows and column of A. We obtain

 

Example-8:

 

Properties of transpose:

Let S be a scalar and A and B be the matrices. Then

1. ( AT)T = A

2. ( A B )T = AT BT

3. ( AB )T = BT AT

4. ( sA )T = sAT
