Show that if a 3 x 3 matrix A represents the reflection about a plane, then A is similar to the matrix [10001000-1].

Short Answer

Expert verified

If a 3 x 3 matrix A represents the reflection about a plane, then A is similar to the matrix [10001000-1].

Step by step solution

01

  Considering an equation of a plane

Let us considerx1-2x2+2x3=0is an equation of a plane.

Also let us consider the basis of the plane consists of two vectors parallel to the plane and one vector perpendicular to the plane.

i.e.I=u,v,wis the basis of the plane such thatlocalid="1659354468607" U鈬赌,V鈬赌are parallel to the plane and is perpendicular to the plane. Then we have w鈬赌=U鈬赌V鈬赌.

02

 Step 2: Finding the reflection matrix A about the plane x1-2x2+2x3=0

SinceI=u,v,w is the basis of the plane such thatrole="math" localid="1659354529564" U鈬赌,V鈬赌 are parallel to the plane androle="math" localid="1659354504549" w鈬赌 is perpendicular to the plane, then the linear transformation of the vectors U鈬赌,V鈬赌andw鈬赌 is given by

role="math" localid="1659354641352" T(u鈬赌)=u鈬赌T(v)=v鈬赌T(w鈬赌)=-w鈬赌

Therefore the matrix A=[10001000-1]which is clearly similar to the given matrix .

[10001000-1]

03

  Final answer

If a 3 x 3 matrix A represents the reflection about a plane, then A is similar to the matrix [10001000-1]
