Matrix Operations

  1. Examples:

    1. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix}^T = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 \\ 2 & 5 \\ 3 & 6\end{bmatrix}$

    2. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}^T = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$.

    3. $\begin{bmatrix} 🔴 \\ 🟡 \\ 🟢 \end{bmatrix}^T = \begin{bmatrix} 🔴 & 🟡 & 🟢 \end{bmatrix}$.

    4. $\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ 0 & c \end{bmatrix}^T = \begin{bmatrix} a & 0 \\ b & c \end{bmatrix}$.
