The trace of an nxn matrix is usually thought of as the sum of the diagonal entries in the matrix. However, it is also the sum of the eigenvalues. This may help to understand why the proof works. So to answer your question, let's say A and B are matrices and A is similar to B. You want to prove that Trace A=Trace B If A is similar to B, there exists an invertible matrix P such that A=(P^-1 B P) Now we use the fact that Trace (AB)= Trace(BA) for any nxn matrices A and B.This is easy to prove directly from the definition of trace. (ask me if you need to know) So using this we have the following: Trace(A)=Trace(P^-1 B P)=Trace (BPP^-1)=Trace(B) and we are done! Dr. Chuck

The AA Similarity Postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have?
You would use the AA Similarity Postulate to prove that the following two triangles are similar. True or false?
How can we use dilating and congruence transformation to prove two triangles are similar?
Recall that two triangles are similar if one is simply a larger or smaller version of the other. So if you can make one bigger or smaller (this is called dilating) so that it looks exactly the same as another (and would fit exactly if moved with a congruence transform), then this would show similarity.
How do you prove ab equals ba?
A - B = B - AThis statement is very difficult to prove.Mainly because it's not true . . . unless 'A' happens to equal 'B'.
Homogeneous system with m equations and n unknowns how to prove it has only one solution?
row reduce the matrix in question and see if it has any free variables. if it does then it has many solution's. If not then it only has one unique solution. which is of course the trivial solution (0)
What are the proofs that a quadrilateral ia s parallelogram?
There are 5 ways to prove a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram. -Prove both pairs of opposite sides congruent -Prove both pairs of opposite sides parallel -Prove one pair of opposite sides both congruent and parallel -Prove both pairs of opposite angles are congruent -Prove that the diagonals bisect each other
Which similarity can not be used to prove that the given triangles are simila?
sss similarity
How do you prove a z-score?
A z-score is a linear transformation. There is nothing to "prove".
Prove that transpose is invarient under similarity transformtion?
This is not a question its a statmant
Prove that a matrix which is both symmetric as well as skew symmetric is a null matrix?
Let A be a matrix which is both symmetric and skew symmetric. so AT=A and AT= -A so A =- A that implies 2A =zero matrix that implies A is a zero matrix
How to prove that the spectral radius of a symmetric square matrix on real numbers is not larger than the 1-norm of the matrix?
Let's prove that rho(A)=2-norm(A) for A symmetrical and then prove the relation between 1-norm and 2-norm. Both are easy.
Why is AAA not an appropriate conjecture for triangle congruence?
It does not necessarily prove congruence but it does prove similarity. You can have a smaller or bigger triangle that has the same interior angles.
The AA Similarity Postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have?
You would use the AA Similarity Postulate to prove that the following two triangles are similar. True or false?
Is this statement true or falseTo prove triangles similar using the Side-Side-Side Similarity Theorem, you must first prove that corresponding angles are congruent?
false
How do you prove that your a werewolf?
Probably best to video tape the transformation. or just transform in the city if your low budget
How do you make a flowchart for congruent or similar triangles?
Here guys Thanks :D Congruent triangles are similar figures with a ratio of similarity of 1, that is 1 1 . One way to prove triangles congruent is to prove they are similar first, and then prove that the ratio of similarity is 1. In these sections of the text the students find short cuts that enable them to prove triangles congruent in fewer steps, by developing five triangle congruence conjectures. They are SSS! , ASA! , AAS! , SAS! , and HL ! , illustrated below.

Recall that two triangles are similar if one is simply a larger or smaller version of the other.

Matrix prove if Ax equals Bx then A equals B?
If x is a null matrix then Ax = Bx for any matrices A and B including when A not equal to B. So the proposition in the question is false and therefore cannot be proven.
