Question
In this problem, we consider the diagonalization of a symmetric matrix.

a. Prove that the \( n \times n \) matrix \( A \) is orthogonal if and only if the columns (rows) of \( A \) form an orthonormal set.

b. Prove that if \( A \) is a symmetric \( n \times n \) matrix, then there exists an orthogonal matrix \( P \) such that \( P^{-1}AP = P^TAP = D \), where \( D \) is a diagonal matrix. Furthermore, the eigenvalues of \( A \) lie on the diagonal of \( D \).
