Question
why is a32 = 8?
Lo o
We define two matrices to be equal if they are of the same order and if each entry in
one equals the corresponding entry in the other.
When the columns and rows of matrix A are interchanged to create a matrix B and
vice versa, we say that A and B are transposes of each other and write AT = B and B" = A.
We will see valuable uses for transposes of matrices in Chapter 4, "Inequalities and Linear
Programming."
