The given statement is false.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition of a commute.

Suppose A and B are two matrices.

Then the matrices A and B re said to be commute if AB = BA

Step 2: Check whether the given statement is a true or false.

The given statement is if matrices A and B are commute, the A must commute with BT as well.

It is know that the matrix multiplication is not commutative.

So, ABT=BTA is not true always.

Then the given statement is false.
