Let A ∈ Mat n×n(R) be a real square matrix.
(a) Suppose that A is symmetric, positive semi-definite, and
orthogonal. Prove that A is the identity matrix.
(b) Suppose that A satisfies A = −A^T . Prove that if λ ∈ C is
an eigenvalue of A, then λ¯ = −λ.
From now on, we assume that A is idempotent, i.e. A^2 = A.
(c) Prove that if λ is an eigenvalue of A, then λ is equal to 0...

A square matrix A is said to be symmetric if its transpose
AT satisfies AT= A, and a
complex-valued square matrix A is said to be Hermitian if its
conjugate transpose AH =
(A)T = AT satisfies AH = A. Thus,
a real-valued square matrix A is symmetric if and
only if it is Hermitian. Which of the following is a vector
space?

R.
(b) The set of all...
