[SOLVED] Quick Question: Is this matrix an orthogonal projection?

Homework Statement


P=[0 0 ]
[11]


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Its orthogonal if the null space and range are perpendicular.
Range=[0 ]
[x+y]
null space=[x
 
Physics news on Phys.org
null space=[x ]
[-x]??
So then its not orthogonal??
 
If you mean the range is spanned by the vector [0,1] and the null space is spanned by the vector [1,-1] (which I think you do mean) then yes, not orthogonal.
