Exercise 6.6.4

Answers

Since T is an orthogonal projection, we have N(T) = R(T) and R(T) = N(T). Now we want to say that N(I T) = R(T) = W and R(I T) = N(T) = W and so I T is the orthogonal projection on W. If x N(I T), we have x = T(x) R(T). If T(x) R(T), we have

(I T)T(x) = T(x) T2(x) = T(x) T(x) = 0.

So we have the first equality. Next, if (I T)(x) R(I T) we have

T(I T)(x) = T(x) T2(x) = T(x) T(x) = 0.

If x N(T) we have T(x) = 0 and so x = (I T)(x) R(I T). So the second equality also holds.
