Part 2) Orthogonal Matrices (8 marks) Orthogonal matrices occur in a variety of engineering applications. a) Define orthogonal matrices and state some of their properties? b) Show that the matrix is orthogonal by calculating $A^T A$ $A = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{3} & \frac{2}{3} & \frac{2}{3} \\ \frac{2}{3} & -\frac{2}{3} & \frac{1}{3} \\ -\frac{2}{3} & -\frac{1}{3} & \frac{2}{3} \end{bmatrix}$

Definition of Orthogonal Matrices: An orthogonal matrix is a square matrix whose columns and rows are orthonormal vectors. In other words, the dot product of any two columns or rows is zero, and the magnitude of each column or row is one. Show more…

7. An n x n matrix P is said to be orthogonal if P'P = In. (a) For λ = ±1/√2, show that the matrix P = [λ 0 λ; λ 0 -λ; 0 1 0] is orthogonal. (b) Show that the 2 x 2 matrix [p -q; q p] is orthogonal if and only if p^2 + q^2 = 1. (c) Show that the product of two orthogonal n x n matrices is orthogonal.

Show that the sets of eigenvectors of the symmetric matrices are orthogonal in Exercise 7
In Exercises $19-32,$ determine whether the matrix is orthogonal. If the matrix orthogonal, then show that the column vectors of the matrix form an orthonormal set. $$ \left[\begin{array}{rccr} \frac{1}{8} & 0 & 0 & \frac{3}{8} \sqrt{7} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \frac{3}{8} \sqrt{7} & 0 & 0 & \frac{1}{8} \end{array}\right] $$
