Detailed Solution

 We observe that BC =I =CB, 

BC=1    42    99421     =9-8-4+418-18-8+9     =1001

 ∴ BnCn=CnBn=I for all nN

Let X=A3BC+A5B2C2+A7B3C3++A2n+1BnCn.

Then, X=A3I+A5I+A7I++A2n+1I

 X=A3+A5+A7++A2n+1

XT=A3+A5+A7++A2n+1T

XT=A3T+A5T+A7T++A2n+1T

XT=AT3+AT5+AT7++AT2n+1

XT=(A)3+(A)5+(A)7++(A)2n+1

                                                            AT=A

XT=XX   is a skew-symmetric matrix.
