‘Transpose’ of a matrix (say A) is a matrix obtained by interchanging its rows into columns or columns into rows. It can be denoted as
A Transpose.
‘Identity Matrix’ is a square matrix that has 1s on the main diagonal and zeros everywhere else. A 3×3 identity matrix can be written as
If the product of a matrix and its transpose results in an identity matrix, we call that matrix an ‘Orthogonal Matrix’.
Let us see the example that explains whether or not the given matrix is an Orthogonal matrix.
Consider a matrix
The transpose of this matrix is written by interchanging the rows into columns or vice versa.
Now find the production A and A transpose and see what is the result.
