Q9:

A matrix is said to be orthogonal if 𝐴 𝐴 = 𝐼 𝑇 . Thus, the inverse of an orthogonal matrix is just its transpose. What are the possible values of d e t ( 𝐴 ) if 𝐴 is an orthogonal matrix?

  • A d e t ( 𝐴 ) = 1 or d e t ( 𝐴 ) = βˆ’ 1
  • B d e t ( 𝐴 ) = √ 2 or d e t ( 𝐴 ) = βˆ’ √ 2
  • C d e t ( 𝐴 ) = 0
  • D d e t ( 𝐴 ) = 2
  • E d e t ( 𝐴 ) = 1 √ 2 or d e t ( 𝐴 ) = βˆ’ 1 √ 2
