if the matrix ​ is a skew symmetric matrix, find the values of a, b and c.

Dear student,

Let A=0a32b-1c10AT=02Cab13-10Now if a matrix is skew symmetric then AT=-A02cab13-10=-0a32b-1c1002cab13-10=0-a-3-2-b1-c-10also for a skew symmetric the diagonals are equal to 0On comparing the valuesa=-2, b=0, c=-3
Regards

skew symmetric means transpose of A=-A
a=-2
b=0 (as the diagonal elements of a skew symmetric is zero)
c=-3
