L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence, proved.
(ii) Given: A =
and B = 
Assume,
(A+B)T = AT + BT

L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence, proved.
(iii) Given: A=
and B= 
Assume,
(A − B)T = AT − BT

L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence, proved
(iv) Given: A =
and B = 
Assume,
(AB)T = BTAT

Therefore, (AB)T = BTAT
Hence, proved.
Question 2: A =
and B =
Verify that (AB)T = BTAT
Solution:
Given: A =
and B = 
Assume,
(AB)T = BTAT

L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence proved
Question 3: Let A =
and B = 
Find AT, BT and verify that
(i) (A + B)T = AT + BT
(ii) (AB)T = BTAT
(iii) (2A)T = 2AT
Solution:
(i) Given: A = 
and B = 
Assume
(A + B)T = AT + BT

L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence proved
(ii) Given: A =
and B = 
Assume,

(AB)T = BTAT

L.H.S =R.H.S
Hence proved
(iii) Given: A =
and B = 
Assume,
(2A)T = 2AT

L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence proved
Question 4: if A =
, B =
, verify that (AB)T = BTAT
Solution:
Given: A =
and B = 
Assume,
(AB)T = BTAT

L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence proved
Question 5: If A =
and B =
, find (AB)T
Solution:
Given: A =
and B = 
Here we have to find (AB)T

Hence,
(AB)T = 
Question 6:
(i) For two matrices A and B,
verify that (AB)T = BTAT
Solution:
Given,

(AB)T = BTAT
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence,
(AB)T = BTAT
(ii) For the matrices A and B, verify that (AB)T = BTAT, where

Solution:
Given,

(AB)T = BTAT
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ L.H.S = R.H.s
So,
(AB)T = BTAT
Question 7: Find
, AT – BT
Solution:
Given that 
We need to find AT – BT.
Given that, 

Let us find AT – BT
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Question 8: If
, then verify that A’A = 1
Solution:



⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Hence,we have verified that A’A = I
Question 9:
, then verify that A’A = I
Solution:




Hence, we have verified that A’A = I
Question 10: If li, mi, ni ; i = 1, 2, 3 denote the direction cosines of three mutually perpendicular vectors in space, prove that AAT = I,
Where 
Solution:
Given,
li, mi, ni are direction cosines of three mutually perpendicular vectors
⇒ 
And,

Given,
