Transcript

The problem. Here is the problem: Transpose Aᵀ: A equals [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]. Compute Transpose Aᵀ exactly.

Step by step. Read matrix A. Rows become columns. Result.

The answer. So the answer is Transpose Aᵀ equals [[1, 4], [2, 5], [3, 6]]. The transpose of a 2 times 3 matrix is 3 times 2.

Check. All arithmetic is exact (fractions, no rounding).
