Question 7687: Matrix Shape and Complete Transpose Round Trip

Original question and givens

Use complete nonempty integer matrices with 1–5 rows and columns and 1-based external indices. Transposition is not inversion or reversal of element order. M=[[-1, -2], [0, -1], [1, 0]]. Give (shape of M, Mᵀ, (Mᵀ)ᵀ, does the round trip equal M?).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

M=[[-1, -2], [0, -1], [1, 0]];shape=[3, 2]

external indices start at1;transpose is not inverse

M transpose:source(1,1)=-1

target(1,1)=-1

M transpose:source(1,2)=-2

target(2,1)=-2

M transpose:source(2,1)=0

target(1,2)=0

M transpose:source(2,2)=-1

target(2,2)=-1

M transpose:source(3,1)=1

target(1,3)=1

M transpose:source(3,2)=0

target(2,3)=0

second transpose:source(1,1)=-1

target(1,1)=-1

second transpose:source(1,2)=0

target(2,1)=0

second transpose:source(1,3)=1

target(3,1)=1

second transpose:source(2,1)=-2

target(1,2)=-2

second transpose:source(2,2)=-1

target(2,2)=-1

second transpose:source(2,3)=0

target(3,2)=0

M=[[-1, -2], [0, -1], [1, 0]];M^T=[[-1, 0, 1], [-2, -1, 0]]

roundtrip=[[-1, -2], [0, -1], [1, 0]];equal=Yes

Result

([3, 2], [[-1, 0, 1], [-2, -1, 0]], [[-1, -2], [0, -1], [1, 0]], Yes)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
