If A is any non-zero square matrix, then the matrix \(P=\frac{1}{2}\left(A-A^T\right)\) is:

  1. A Symmetric
  2. B Null matrix
  3. C Skew-symmetric
  4. D Scalar matrix
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Skew-symmetric

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P^T = \left(\frac{1}{2}(A-A^T)\right)^T\) \(P^T = \frac{1}{2}(A^T - (A^T)^T)\) \(P^T = \frac{1}{2}(A^T - A)\) \(P^T = -\frac{1}{2}(A - A^T)\) \(P^T = -P\) Skew-symmetric
