Question

Write a square matrix which is both symmetric as well as skew-symmetric.

✓

Answer

Let $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{A}^{\text{T}{}}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$
Since A^T = A, A is a symmetric matrix.
Now,
$-\text{A}=-\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow-\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$
Since A^T = -A, A is a skew-symmetric matrix.
Thus, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$is an exampal of a matrix that is both symmetric and skew-symmetric.
