MCQ
The matrix $A = \frac{1}{3}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&2&2\\2&1&{ - 2}\\{ - 2}&2&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]$is
  • Orthogonal
  • B
    Involutory
  • C
    Idempotent
  • D
    Nilpotent

Answer

Correct option: A.
Orthogonal
a
(a) Since for given $A = \frac{1}{3}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&2&2\\2&1&{ - 2}\\{ - 2}&2&{ - 1}\end{array}\,} \right]$
$A{A^T} = {A^T}A = {I_{(3 \times 3)}}$. Thus  $ A $ is orthogonal.
