Question
If A, B are square matrices of same order and B is a skew-symmetric matrix, show that A′BA is skew-symmetric.
Advertisements
Solution
Given that B is a skew-symmetric matrix
∴ B' = – B
Let P = A'BA
⇒ P' = (A'BA)'
= A'B'(A')' .....[(AB)' = B'A']
= A'(– B) A
= – A'BA
= – P
So P' = – P
Hence, A'BA is a skew-symmetric matrix.
