Question

If A and B are orthogonal, is A+B also orthogonal? 

Can you demonstrate Algebraically using A + B = (A + B)^T etc...? Thank you.

Expert Answer
Step 1
Orthogonal matrix : - A Real square matrix A is said to be
orthogonal if AA" = A"A = I.
Or if AT = A-, where A"
Transpose of A
(8) Now if A and B are two orthogonal matrix of same order then A
+ B may or may not be orthogonal matrix
but if A and B are two orthogonal matrix of same order then A + B
orthogonal if and only if
AB" + BA" + I = 0
Step 2
Thus, A+B may or may not be orthogonal
