Q. The eigen values of a skew-symmetric matrix are

A
always zero
B
always pure imaginary
C
either zero or pure imaginary
D
always real
Solution:
  • Eigen values of a skew symmetric matrix are either zero or pure imaginary.
  • Eigen values of a real symmetric matrix are always real.
  • The sum of the eigenvalues of a matrix is the same as the trace of the matrix (that is, the sum of the diagonal elements of that matrix.).
  • The product of the eigenvalues of a matrix is the same as the determinant of the matrix.
