Question
Negative inverse transposed matrix
I have a text book example I can't translate into Mathcad.
They provide a 2x2 matrix as follows:
1 0.051
0.051 1
They then say to transform it by "transpose of the inverse of the square root" of the above matrix.
They use notation that is M followed by a superscript of -1/2
(M^-(1/2))`
The result should be:
1 -0.03
-0.03 1
I don't know how to square root a matrix, and square root of individual values doesn't provide the "correct" answer.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
