If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & x-1 \\ 2x+3 & x+2 \end{bmatrix}$ is a symmetric matrix,then the value of $x$ is

If $A$ is a symmetric matrix and $B$ is a skew-symmetric matrix such that $A + B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$,then $AB$ is equal to

For a square matrix $A$,if $A = B + \frac{C}{2}$,where $B$ is a skew-symmetric matrix and $C$ is a symmetric matrix,then $C = $ . . . . . . .

The trace of the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 7 & 9 \\ 11 & 8 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$ is defined only for square matrices. If we consider the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -5 & 7 \\ 0 & 7 & 9 \\ 11 & 8 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$,what is its trace?

Let $A, B, C$ be $3 \times 3$ matrices such that $A$ is symmetric and $B$ and $C$ are skew-symmetric. Consider the statements:
$(S1): A^{13} B^{26} - B^{26} A^{13}$ is symmetric
$(S2): A^{26} C^{13} - C^{13} A^{26}$ is symmetric
Then,

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos \theta & \sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & \cos \theta \end{bmatrix}$,then $A \cdot A^{\prime}$ is
