Let Abe the matrix of an orthogonal projection. FindA2 in two ways:

a.Geometrically. (Consider what happens when you apply an orthogonal projection twice.)

b.By computation, using the formula given in Theorem 5.3.10

A2=A

Step by step solution

01

Consider for part (a).

Observe that, in the figure below the brown vector is the orthogonal projection of the vector v⊥onto the space W. so, if we project onto a subspace W of Rn, then for any xI∈Rn,AxI∈W. Now, again taking the orthogonal projection won’t do anything as the vector Ax⊥is already there on the subspace W and therefore, A(AxI)=AxI=A2xI

Since it is true for any xI∈Rnthus,

A2=A

Consider the diagram below.

02

Consider for part (b).

Observe that the matrix of the orthogonal projection is given by .

As the ijth entry of the matrix is given by

uirujr=0i≠j1i≠j

So, consider, localid="1659500792037" A=QQT⇒A2

A=QQT⇒A2=QQTQQT=(QQT)(QQT)=QQT=A

Thus, it givesA2=A
