Question

If A is a skew-symmetric and n ∈ N such that $(\text{A}^\text{n})^\text{T}=\lambda\text{A}^\text{n},$ write the value of $\lambda.$

✓

Answer

Given,
A is skew symmetric matrix
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^\text{T} = -\text{A}$
And
$(\text{A}^\text{n})^\text{T}=\lambda\text{A}^\text{n}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{A}^\text{T})^\text{n}=\lambda\text{A}^\text{n}$
$\Rightarrow(-\text{A})^\text{n}=\lambda\text{A}^\text{n}$
$\Rightarrow(-1)^\text{n}\text{A}^\text{n}=\lambda\text{A}^\text{n}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=(-1)^\text{n}$
