Paper 1, Section I, C
Let and be real matrices.
Show that .
For any square matrix, the matrix exponential is defined by the series
Show that . [You are not required to consider issues of convergence.]
Calculate, in terms of and , the matrices and in the series for the matrix product
Hence obtain a relation between and which necessarily holds if is an orthogonal matrix.
