Transpose of a Matrix

A matrix obtained by changing the rows into columns or columns into rows of a matrix is called
transpose of that matrix.
If 𝐴 is an 𝑚 × 𝑛 matrix, then the transpose of 𝐴, 𝐴𝑇 , is an 𝑛 × 𝑚 matrix. Thus the transpose of 𝐴 is
obtained from 𝐴 by interchanging its rows and columns.

Properties of the Transpose

If 𝑟 is a scalar and 𝐴 and 𝐵 are matrices of appropriate sizes, then

a. (𝐴𝑇 )𝑇 = 𝐴
b. (𝐴 + 𝐵)𝑇 = 𝐴𝑇 + 𝐵𝑇
c. (𝑟𝐴)𝑇 = 𝑟𝐴𝑇

Examples: Let

4 2 3 1 2 5 𝑇 𝑇
𝐴=[ ] & 𝐵=[ ], and 𝐴 = [2 −3] & 𝐵 = [2 8].
