Homework Statement
Find the SVD of
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm stuck
My question is why in the solution it originally finds u_2=[1/5,-2/5]' but then says u_2=[1/sqrt(5),-2/sqrt(5)]'. I don't see what math was done in the solution to change the denominator from 5 to square root 5.
General Question - When finding the singular value...
(sigma_1)^2 = constant, why do we only consider the positive root
sigma_1 = sqrt(constant)
because the solution to the problem is
sigma_1 = +/- sqrt(constant)
Thanks for any help you can provide me.
