Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\text{x}&-\sin\text{x}\\\sin\text{x}&\cos\text{x}\end{bmatrix},$ find $AA^T$.

Answer

Given: $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\text{x}&-\sin\text{x}\\\sin\text{x}&\cos\text{x}\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\text{x}&\sin\text{x}\\-\sin\text{x}&\cos\text{x}\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AA}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\text{x}&-\sin\text{x}\\\sin\text{x}&\cos\text{x}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\cos\text{x}&\sin\text{x}\\-\sin\text{x}&\cos\text{x}\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AA}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}\cos^2\text{x}+\sin^2\text{x}&\cos\text{x}\sin\text{x}-\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}\\\cos\text{x}\sin\text{x}-\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}&\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x}\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AA}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$
