Question
$\text{If}\ \text{A}'=\begin{bmatrix}-2&3\\1&2\end{bmatrix}, \text{and}\ \text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}-1&0\\1&2\end{bmatrix}\ \text{then find}\ (\text{A} + 2\text{B})'$

Answer

We know that A = (A')'
$\therefore\ \text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&1\\3&2\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore \text{A}+2\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&1\\3&2\end{bmatrix}+2\begin{bmatrix}-1&0\\1&2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&1\\3&2\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}-2&0\\2&4\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-4&1\\5&6\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore(\text{A} + 2\text{B})'=\begin{bmatrix}-4&5\\1&6\end{bmatrix}$
