I don't see why it's false?
Response: These planes intersect in a line. Orthogon subspaces intersect only in the O vector.
On 10/31/99, belhajse asks about Q8 of MA322-005,11 Section 4.1 and 4.2 (Oct 29):
Can you tell me how you got this result?
Response: Find the null space matrix A of the equation. Then construct the projection matrix A(A^TA)^(-1)A^T from that. Then multiply that by the point to be projected.

WHY CAN'T IT BE, IS THIS AN ALWAYS QUESTION??
Response: Don't shout. Yes, this is an always question. The statement is false if you can find a single instance where it is false.
On 11/2/99, kendigbr asks about Q19 of MA322-005,11 Section 4.1 and 4.2 (Oct 29):
CAN'T FOLLOW AFTER FIRST EQUALITY OF PROBLEM!
Response: Use the associatively of matrix multiplication and the properties of inverses to see that the algebra holds true.
On 10/29/99, claybomi asks about Q13 of MA322-005,11 Section 4.1 and 4.2 (Oct 29):
i don't understand!
Response: Projection matrices have the property that they are their own square, but matrices with that property do not have to be projection matrices.
