This tool will help you determine if a matrix is orthogonal.
How to use the orthogonal matrix calculator:
To use this calculator, input a 3×3 matrix into the provided text area. Separate the elements of each row by a comma and each row by a newline.
Click the “Calculate” button to determine if the matrix is orthogonal. The result will be displayed in the result input field.
How it works:
The calculator checks if the matrix is orthogonal by first transposing the matrix. Next, it multiplies the original matrix with the transposed one. Finally, it checks if the resultant matrix is an identity matrix. If the resultant matrix is an identity matrix, the original matrix is orthogonal.
Limitations:
This calculator only handles 3×3 matrices. The input must be numeric and correctly formatted for the calculator to work. Invalid inputs will generate an error message indicating that the input is invalid.
