For a square matrix $A$,if $A = B + \frac{C}{2}$,where $B$ is a skew-symmetric matrix and $C$ is a symmetric matrix,then $C = $ . . . . . . .

Find the transpose of the following matrix: $\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & -1 \\ 2 & 3\end{array}\right]$

Let $X$ and $Y$ be two arbitrary,$3 \times 3$,non-zero,skew-symmetric matrices and $Z$ be an arbitrary $3 \times 3$,non-zero,symmetric matrix. Then which of the following matrices is (are) skew-symmetric?
$(A) Y^3 Z^4 - Z^4 Y^3$
$(B) X^{44} + Y^{44}$
$(C) X^4 Z^3 - Z^3 X^4$
$(D) X^{23} + Y^{23}$

For the matrices $A$ and $B$,verify that $(AB)^{\prime} = B^{\prime} A^{\prime}$ where $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5 & 7 \end{bmatrix}$.

Express the matrix $A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & 5 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right]$ as the sum of a symmetric and a skew-symmetric matrix.

If the matrix $A$ is both symmetric and skew-symmetric,then
