Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\5&7\end{bmatrix},$ find A + AT.

Answer

Given: $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\5&7\end{bmatrix}$
$\text{A}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}2&5\\3&7\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\text{A}+\text{A}^{\text{T}}=\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\5 &7\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}2&5\\3&7\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}+\text{A}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}2+2&3+5\\5+3&7+7\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}+\text{A}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}4&8\\8&14\end{bmatrix}$
