Question

If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&\text{c}&-\text{b}\\-\text{c}&0&\text{a}\\\text{b}&-\text{a}&0\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}^2&\text{ab}&\text{ac}\\\text{ab}&\text{b}^2&\text{bc}\\\text{ac}&\text{bc}&\text{c}^2\end{bmatrix},$ show that $AB = BA = O_{3 \times 3}$

Answer

Here,
$\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}0&\text{c}&-\text{b}\\-\text{c}&0&\text{a}\\\text{b}&-\text{a}&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}^2&\text{ab}&\text{ac}\\\text{ab}&\text{b}^2&\text{bc}\\\text{ac}&\text{bc}&\text{c}^2\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}0+\text{abc}-\text{abc}&0+\text{b}^2\text{c}-\text{b}^2\text{c}&0+\text{bc}^2-\text{bc}^2\\-\text{a}^2\text{c}+0+\text{a}^2\text{c}&-\text{abc}+0+\text{abc}&-\text{ac}^2+0+\text{ac}^2\\\text{a}^2\text{b}-\text{a}^2\text{b}+0&\text{ab}^2-\text{ab}^2+0&\text{abc}-\text{abc}+0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\text{O}_{3\times3}\ \dots(1)$
$\text{BA}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}^2&\text{ab}&\text{ac}\\\text{ab}&\text{b}^2&\text{bc}\\\text{ac}&\text{bc}&\text{c}^2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0&\text{c}&-\text{b}\\-\text{c}&0&\text{a}\\\text{b}&-\text{a}&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BA}=\begin{bmatrix}0-\text{abc}+\text{abc}&\text{a}^2\text{c}+0-\text{a}^2\text{c}&-\text{a}^2\text{b}+\text{a}^2\text{b}+0\\0-\text{b}^2\text{c}+\text{b}^2\text{c}&\text{abc}+0-\text{abc}&-\text{ab}^2+\text{ab}^2+0\\0-\text{bc}^2+\text{bc}^2&\text{ac}^2+0-\text{ac}^2&-\text{abc}+\text{abc}+0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BA}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BA}=\text{O}_{3\times3}\ \dots(2)$
$ \Rightarrow\text{AB}=\text{BA}=0_{3\times3}$ [From eqs. (1) and (2)]
