State whether true or false: If A is a matrix and K is a constant, then \((KA)^T=KA^T\).
Q.1 (B) (i) State whether true or false: If A is a matrix and K is a constant, then \((KA)^T=KA^T\).
Q.1 (B) (i) State whether true or false: If A is a matrix and K is a constant, then \((KA)^T=KA^T\).
Best answer
Answer: True
The \((i,j)\) element of \((KA)^T\) is the \((j,i)\) element of \(KA\), i.e. \(K a_{ji}\), which is the \((i,j)\) element of \(KA^T\). Hence \((KA)^T=KA^T\).
