Short Answer

TRUE OR FALSE?

If a matrix A=(abcd) represents the orthogonal projection onto a line L , then the equation a2+b2+c2+d2=1 must hold.

The given statement is false.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Consider the parameters

The orthogonal projection of matrix is of form u12u1u2u1u2u22 with u=u1u2. Thus, if

a2+b2+c2+d2=1then

u14+u1u22+u1u22+u24=1u1u22=1

Consider the matrix.

A=(abcd)

Step 2: Find the values of the elements

If A=abcd then,

The elements will be,

a=u12,d=u22,b=c=u1u2

Compute, a2+b2+c2+d2

a2+b2+c2+d2=u122+u1u22+u1u22+u222a2+b2+c2+d2=u12+u22u12+u22

Hence, the statement is false.
