Question:

Given u in Rn with uTu = 1, let P = uu(an outer product) and Q = I - 2P. Justify statements, 

(a) P= P

(b) PT = P

(c) Q2 = 1

The transformation x ↦ Px is called a projection, and x ↦ Qx is called a Householder reflection. Such reflections are used in computer programs to create multiple zeros in a vector (usually a column of a matrix).
