Methodology

Firstly, there are some steps to solve the transpose matrix. First Start with any matrix. Turn
the first row of the matrix into the first column of its transpose. Repeat for the remaining
rows. Practice on a non-square matrix. Express the transposition mathematically.

For example: if M= (25 36 )

2 5
( )
M T= 3 6

Second, there are some steps to solve the symmetric matrix. If the transpose of a matrix is
equal to itself, that matrix is said to be symmetric.

For examples: A= AT = (10 01)

1 0 0
T
(
B= B = 0 1 0
0 0 1 )
Thirdly, there are two methods to solve the inverse matrix. First method is creating the
adjugate matrix. Check the determinant of the matrix. Then transpose the original matrix.
Next find the determinant of each of the 2x2 minor matrices. Create the matrix of cofactors.
Divide each term of the adjugate matrix by the determinant. Second method is using linear
row reduction. Adjoin the identity matrix to the original matrix. Perform linear row reduction
operations. Continue until you form the identity matrix. At the end write out the inverse
matrix.
