Question 7644: Same-Shape Matrix Sum and Both Transpose Routes

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. Same-shape M=[[6, 5, 4, 3], [7, 6, 5, 4], [8, 7, 6, 5], [9, 8, 7, 6]], N=[[0, 1, 2, 3], [-1, 0, 1, 2], [-2, -1, 0, 1], [-3, -2, -1, 0]]. Give (shape of M, M+N, (M+N)ᵀ, Mᵀ+Nᵀ).

• 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. Same-shape M=[[6, 5, 4, 3], [7, 6, 5, 4], [8, 7, 6, 5], [9, 8, 7, 6]], N=[[0, 1, 2, 3], [-1, 0, 1, 2], [-2, -1, 0, 1], [-3, -2, -1, 0]]. Give (shape of M, M+N, (M+N)ᵀ, Mᵀ+Nᵀ).

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.
