Question

decide if the given statement is true or false,and give a brief justification for your answer.If true, you can quote a relevant definition or theorem. If false,provide an example,illustration,or brief explanation of why the statement is false.

Q For any n×n real,symmetric matrix A and vectors v and w in Rn, we have⟨Av,w⟩=⟨v,Aw)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Symmetric matrix: A square matrix A of order n is said to be a symmetric matrix if and only if we

can write AT=A.

We have to check whether Av, w=v, Aw is true or not, for a symmetric matrix A of order n

and the vectors v, wn.
