If A and B are square matrices of the same order, which of the following trace properties is always true?
If A and B are square matrices of the same order, which of the following trace properties is always true?
- A. Trace(AB) = Trace(A)Trace(B)
- B. Trace(AB) = Trace(BA)
- C. Trace(AB) = 0
- D. Trace(A') = −Trace(A)
Answer: B) Trace(AB) = Trace(BA)
Explanation: A fundamental property of the trace is that it is invariant under cyclic permutations, so Trace(AB) = Trace(BA).
