Concept:

Transpose of a Matrix:

The new matrix obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of the original matrix is called as the transpose of the matrix.

It is denoted by  or AT.

For example: 

Calculation:

Let matrix A =

a11 = 2 × (1) - 1 = 1

a12 = 2 × (1) - 2 = 0

a13 = 2 × (1) - 3 = -1

a21 = 2 × (2) - 1 = 3

a22 = 2 × (2) - 2 = 2

a23 = 2 × (2) - 3 = 1

a31 = 2 × (3) - 1 = 5

a32 = 2 × (3) - 2 = 4

a33 = 2 × (3) - 3 = 3

∴ A = 

AT = 

⇒ AT = 

Additional Information

Properties of Transpose of a Matrix:

  • The transpose of a matrix is the matrix itself:
  • The transposes of equal matrices are also similar:
  • The transpose of the sum/difference of two matrices is equivalent to the sum/difference of their transposes:
  • The transpose of the product of two matrices is equivalent to the product of their transposes in reversed order:
