Example Question #11 : The Transpose

$\begin{align*}&\text{Find the transpose of }A=\begin{bmatrix}-15&3\\-2&18\end{bmatrix}\end{align*}$

Possible Answers:

$\begin{bmatrix}-15&-2\\3&18\end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix}3&18\\-15&-2\end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix}18&3\\-2&-15\end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix}-2&-15\\18&3\end{bmatrix}$

Correct answer:

$\begin{bmatrix}-15&-2\\3&18\end{bmatrix}$

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{Determining the transpose of a matrix is relatively simple, though attention to detail should be exercised.}\\&\text{In creating the transpose, the first row becomes the first column, the second row the second column, etc:}\\&A=\begin{bmatrix}-15&3\\-2&18\end{bmatrix}\\&A^{T}=\begin{bmatrix}-15&-2\\3&18\end{bmatrix}\end{align*}$

Example Question #111 : Linear Algebra

$\begin{align*}&\text{Find the transpose of }\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&-6\\-8&-20\\-18&-14\\16&15\\20&3\end{bmatrix}^{T}\end{align*}$

Possible Answers:

$\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&-6\\-8&-20\\-18&-14\\16&15\\20&3\end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix}20&16&-18&-8&-2&1\\3&15&-14&-20&-6&2\end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix}3&15&-14&-20&-6&2\\20&16&-18&-8&-2&1\end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix}1&-2&-8&-18&16&20\\2&-6&-20&-14&15&3\end{bmatrix}$

Correct answer:

$\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&-6\\-8&-20\\-18&-14\\16&15\\20&3\end{bmatrix}$

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{Note the superscript, T, in our problem statement; this denotes the transpose.}\\&\text{The transpose of the transpose of a matrix is the orignal matrix, so:}\\&\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&-6\\-8&-20\\-18&-14\\16&15\\20&3\end{bmatrix}^{TT}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&-6\\-8&-20\\-18&-14\\16&15\\20&3\end{bmatrix}\end{align*}$

$\begin{bmatrix}3&1\\13&-1\\-10&0\end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix}0&-10\\-1&13\\1&3\end{bmatrix}$

Correct answer:

$\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\-1&13\\0&-10\end{bmatrix}$

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{Superscript T denotes the transpose of a matrix. Finding this transpose requies only}\\&\text{treating the first row as the first column, the second as row the second column, etc:}\\&\begin{bmatrix}1&-1&0\\3&13&-10\end{bmatrix}^{T}=\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\-1&13\\0&-10\end{bmatrix}\end{align*}$
