what is A^(*) and B^(*)

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

\[A=\left[\begin{matrix}1+i & 2 \\ i & 1-3i\end{matrix}\right], \]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

\[B=\left[\begin{matrix}i & 0 \\ 0& 2i\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

first of all whats does \[A^*, B^* \] mean

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I think `star` means `conjugate transpose`

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large A=\left[\begin{matrix}1+i & 2 \\ i & 1-3i\end{matrix}\right]\]A transpose,\[\Large A^T=\left[\begin{matrix}1+i & i \\ 2 & 1-3i\end{matrix}\right],\]Conjugate of A,\[\Large \overline A=\left[\begin{matrix}1-i & 2 \\ -i & 1+3i\end{matrix}\right]\]So what do we get when we put these together? :)

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

you mean add them?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

No, like just.. apply both rules :3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Which one you apply first, shouldn't matter

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

\[A^*=\left[\begin{matrix}1-i & -i \\ 2 & 1+3i\end{matrix}\right]\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Mmm yay good job \c:/

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

so \[B^*= \left[\begin{matrix}-i & 0\\ 0& -2i\end{matrix}\right]\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

looks good! :)
