Question

What is the difference between Symmetric matrix and skew symmetric matrix?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A symmetric matrix and skew-symmetric matrix both are square matrices. But the difference between them is, the symmetric matrix is equal to its transpose whereas skew-symmetric matrix is a matrix whose transpose is equal to its negative.

Symmetric Matrix

To understand if a matrix is a symmetric matrix, it is very important to know about transpose of a matrix and how to find it. If we interchange rows and columns of an m×n  matrix to get an n × m   matrix, the new matrix is called the transpose of the given matrix. There are two possibilities for the number of rows (m) and columns (n) of a given matrix:

If m = n, the matrix is square

If m ≠ n, the matrix is rectangular
