symmetric and regular matrix

$begingroup$


A is symmetric, regular matrix. I need to prove that A ^ 17 is symmetric too.
There is some sentence about symmetric matrix I can use here?

    Do you know that $(AB)' = (B') (A')$ , for matrices $A$ and $B$ in general?

    So what have you tried already? What do you know about this problem. Or about symmetric matrices? Can you answer the (presumably simpler) problem about $A^2$?

Well, here says that for integer $n space,A^{n}$ is symmetric if $A$ is symmetric. But if you want really to prove that, you can use formula which says that matrix is diagonalizable if and only if has n different linear independent eigenvectors. It means that matrix is symmilar to some diagonal matrix D. And matrix S is matrix that has eigenvectors from matrix A as colums. $Rightarrow A=Scdot D cdot S^{-1}$
$$A^{n}=underbrace{Scdot D cdot S^{-1}cdot Scdot D cdot S^{-1}cdot Scdot D cdot S^{-1}...}\ _{n times}$$ $$A^{n}=Scdot D^{n}cdot S^{-1}$$ I think it is the easiest way to prove that matrix $space A^{n}$ is symmetric if $A$ is symmetric for some integer $n$.
