Answer

$(A^{T})_{ij}=A_{ji}$ (the ij-th element of $A^{T}$ is the ji-th element of $A)$

Work Step by Step

If $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix, then its transpose is the $n\times m$ matrix obtained by writing its rows as columns, so that the $i\mathrm{t}h$ row of $A$ is the ith column of the transpose, $A^{T}$. So if $A= \left[\begin{array}{llll} a_{11} & a_{12} & \ldots & a_{1m}\\ a_{21} & a_{22} & \ldots & a_{2m}\\ \vdots & & & \\ a_{n1} & a_{n2} & \ldots & a_{mn} \end{array}\right]$, an m$\times$n matrix Then $A^{T}=\left[\begin{array}{llll} a_{11} & a_{21} & \ldots & a_{n1}\\ a_{12} & a_{22} & \ldots & a_{n2}\\ \vdots & & & \\ a_{1m} & a_{2m} & \ldots & a_{nm} \end{array}\right]$, an n$\times$m matrix we see that $(A^{T})_{ij}=A_{ji}$ (the ij-th element of $A^{T}$ is the ji-th element of $A)$
