(i)
where, P = 1/2(A + A') and Q = 1/2(A - A')
Thus P = 1/2(A + A') is a symmetric matrix.
Thus Q = 1/2(A - A') is a skew symmetric matrix.
Representing A as the sum of P and Q,
Thus P = 1/2(A + A') is a symmetric matrix.
Thus Q = 1/2(A - A') is a skew symmetric matrix.
Representing A as the sum of P and Q,
