For any square matrix is

For any square matrix \( \boldsymbol{A}, \boldsymbol{A}+\boldsymbol{A}^{T} \) is

  • A. unit matrix
  • B. symmetric matrix
  • C. skew symmetric matrix
  • D. zero matrix

Step-by-step solution

For any square matrix A, (A + A^T)^T = A^T + (A^T)^T = A^T + A = A + A^T, so A + A^T is symmetric. It is not necessarily unit, zero, or skew symmetric.
