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, 0, -1, -2], [2, 1, 0, -1], [3, 2, 1, 0]]. Give (shape of M, Mᵀ, (Mᵀ)ᵀ, does the round trip equal M?).

  • G001 — 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, 0, -1, -2], [2, 1, 0, -1], [3, 2, 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

S001 · implies

Before

M=[[1, 0, -1, -2], [2, 1, 0, -1], [3, 2, 1, 0]];shape=[3, 4]

After

external indices start at1;transpose is not inverse

Conditions: none

First confirm a nonempty rectangular shape and complete integer entries.Transposition is defined for rectangular matrices without invertibility and is not matrix inversion.
