Question

For any square matrix write whether $AA^T$ is symmetric or skew$-$symmetric.

✓

Answer

$\big(\text{AA}^\text{T}\big)^\text{T}=\big(\text{A}^\text{T}\big)^\text{T}\times\text{A}^\text{T}$ $\big\{\text{since, (AB)}^\text{T}=\text{B}^\text{T}\text{A}^\text{T}\big\}$
$\therefore\ \big(\text{AA}^\text{T}\big)^\text{T}=\big(\text{AA}^\text{T}\big)\ \dots(\text{i})$ $\big\{\text{since, }(\text{A}^\text{T})^\text{T}=\text{A}\big\}$
We know that, a square matrix $A$ is symmetric if $A^T = A$
So, from equation $(i)$
$(AA^T)$ is a symmetric matric.
