Quick Question: Is this matrix an orthogonal projection?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The matrix P = [0 0; 1 1] is not an orthogonal projection. The discussion clarifies that for a matrix to be orthogonal, its null space and range must be perpendicular. In this case, the range is spanned by the vector [0, 1] and the null space by the vector [1, -1], confirming that they are not orthogonal.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linear algebra concepts, specifically orthogonal projections
  • Familiarity with null space and range of matrices
  • Knowledge of vector spaces and their properties
  • Basic matrix operations and representations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of orthogonal projections in linear algebra
  • Learn about calculating null space and range for different matrices
  • Explore the concept of orthogonality in vector spaces
  • Investigate applications of orthogonal projections in computer graphics
USEFUL FOR

Students of linear algebra, mathematicians, and anyone interested in understanding matrix properties and orthogonal projections.

[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.
