Example Question #1 : The Transpose

Find the transpose of Matrix .

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1& 4\\ 5& 8 \end{bmatrix}$

Possible Answers:

$A^T=\begin{bmatrix} 4& 5\\ 8& 1 \end{bmatrix}$

$A^T=\begin{bmatrix} 1& 5\\ 8& 4 \end{bmatrix}$

$A^T=\begin{bmatrix} 1& 5\\ 4& 8 \end{bmatrix}$

$A^T=\begin{bmatrix} 1& 4\\ 5& 8 \end{bmatrix}$

$A^T=\begin{bmatrix} 8& 5\\ 4& 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Correct answer:

$A^T=\begin{bmatrix} 1& 5\\ 4& 8 \end{bmatrix}$

Explanation:

To find the transpose, we need to make columns into rows.

$A^T=\begin{bmatrix} 1& 5\\ 4& 8 \end{bmatrix}$

Example Question #1 : The Transpose

Transpose matrix A where,

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 5&4 &7 \\ 8&4 &2 \\ 0&9 &5 \end{bmatrix}$

Possible Answers:

You cannot transpose a square matrix

$\begin{bmatrix} 7&4 &5 \\ 2&4 &8 \\ 5&9 &0 \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} 4&4 &9 \\ 5&8 &0 \\ 7&2 &5 \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} 5&4 &7 \\ 0&9 &5 \\ 8&4 &2 \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} 5&8 &0 \\ 4&4 &9 \\ 7&2 &5 \end{bmatrix}$

Correct answer:

$\begin{bmatrix} 5&8 &0 \\ 4&4 &9 \\ 7&2 &5 \end{bmatrix}$

Explanation:

Transposing a matrix simply means to make the columns of the original matrix the rows in the transposed matrix. Example: $\begin{bmatrix} 1& 2&3 \\ 4&5 &6 \\ 7&8 &9 \end{bmatrix}^{T} = \begin{bmatrix} 1&4 &7 \\ 2&5 &8 \\ 3&6 &9 \end{bmatrix}$ ie. column 1 become row 1, column 2 becomes row 2, etc.
