Concept:

Symmetric Matrix:

  • Square matrix A is said to be symmetric if the transpose of matrix A is equal to matrix A itself
  • AT = A or A’ = A

Where, AT or A’ denotes the transpose of matrix

  • A square matrix A is said to be symmetric if aij = aji for all i and j

Where aij and aji is an element present in matrix.

 

Calculation:

Given:

A is a symmetric matrix,

⇒ AT = A or aij = aji

A =

So, by property of symmetric matrices

⇒ a12 = a21

⇒ x – 3 = 3

∴ x = 6
