1. is Orthogonal Matrix ?
`[[1,0],[0,-1]]`


Solution:
A square matrix `A`, such that `A xx A^T = I`, is called an orthogonal matrix, where `I` is an identity matrix and `A^T` is the transpose of matrix `A`.


`A` = 
`1``0`
`0``-1`


`A^T` = 
`1``0`
`0``-1`
T
 = 
`1``0`
`0``-1`



`A×(A^T)`=
`1``0`
`0``-1`
×
`1``0`
`0``-1`


=
`1×1+0×0``1×0+0×-1`
`0×1-1×0``0×0-1×-1`


=
`1+0``0+0`
`0+0``0+1`


=
`1``0`
`0``1`



`A xx A^T = I`, So `A` is an orthogonal matrix
2. is Orthogonal Matrix ?
`[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]`


Solution:
A square matrix `A`, such that `A xx A^T = I`, is called an orthogonal matrix, where `I` is an identity matrix and `A^T` is the transpose of matrix `A`.


`A` = 
`1``2``3`
`4``5``6`
`7``8``9`


`A^T` = 
`1``2``3`
`4``5``6`
`7``8``9`
T
 = 
`1``4``7`
`2``5``8`
`3``6``9`



`A×(A^T)`=
`1``2``3`
`4``5``6`
`7``8``9`
×
`1``4``7`
`2``5``8`
`3``6``9`


=
`1×1+2×2+3×3``1×4+2×5+3×6``1×7+2×8+3×9`
`4×1+5×2+6×3``4×4+5×5+6×6``4×7+5×8+6×9`
`7×1+8×2+9×3``7×4+8×5+9×6``7×7+8×8+9×9`


=
`1+4+9``4+10+18``7+16+27`
`4+10+18``16+25+36``28+40+54`
`7+16+27``28+40+54``49+64+81`


=
`14``32``50`
`32``77``122`
`50``122``194`



`A xx A^T != I`, So `A` is not an orthogonal matrix
