=====Question 9=====
Consider any two particular matrices $A$ and $B$ of your choice of order $3 \times 3$ and show that $(A+B)^{t}=A^{t}+B^{t}$.
** Solution. **
Let:
\begin{align*}
A &= \begin{pmatrix}
a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\
a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\
a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33}
\end{pmatrix} \\
B &= \begin{pmatrix}
b_{11} & b_{12} & b_{13} \\
b_{21} & b_{22} & b_{23} \\
b_{31} & b_{32} & b_{33}
\end{pmatrix}\end{align*}
\begin{align*} A + B &=
\begin{pmatrix}
a_{11} + b_{11} & a_{12} + b_{12} & a_{13} + b_{13} \\
a_{21} + b_{21} & a_{22} + b_{22} & a_{23} + b_{23} \\
a_{31} + b_{31} & a_{32} + b_{32} & a_{33} + b_{33}
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
(A + B)^t &=
\begin{pmatrix}
a_{11} + b_{11} & a_{21} + b_{21} & a_{31} + b_{31} \\
a_{12} + b_{12} & a_{22} + b_{22} & a_{32} + b_{32} \\
a_{13} + b_{13} & a_{23} + b_{23} & a_{33} + b_{33}
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
A^t &=
\begin{pmatrix}
a_{11} & a_{21} & a_{31} \\
a_{12} & a_{22} & a_{32} \\
a_{13} & a_{23} & a_{33}
\end{pmatrix}\\
B^t &=
\begin{pmatrix}
b_{11} & b_{21} & b_{31} \\
b_{12} & b_{22} & b_{32} \\
b_{13} & b_{23} & b_{33}
\end{pmatrix} \\
A^t + B^t &=
\begin{pmatrix}
a_{11} + b_{11} & a_{21} + b_{21} & a_{31} + b_{31} \\
a_{12} + b_{12} & a_{22} + b_{22} & a_{32} + b_{32} \\
a_{13} + b_{13} & a_{23} + b_{23} & a_{33} + b_{33}
\end{pmatrix} \\
\text{and}\\ (A + B)^t &=
\begin{pmatrix}
a_{11} + b_{11} & a_{21} + b_{21} & a_{31} + b_{31} \\
a_{12} + b_{12} & a_{22} + b_{22} & a_{32} + b_{32} \\
a_{13} + b_{13} & a_{23} + b_{23} & a_{33} + b_{33}
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align*}
Thus, $\quad(A + B)^t = A^t + B^t$.
