Argument that the picture of P is in U

83 Views Asked by At

I should argument that this is $P^2 = P$ because the picture of P is in U.

can I argument that if I define this vector $v ∈ R^n and \ n ∈ N$

so $v = \left(\begin{matrix} a \\b \\c \end{matrix}\right), U = span(v)$

and $ P = \left(\begin{matrix} a^2 & ab & ac \\ab & b^2 & bc \\ac & bc & c^2 \end{matrix}\right)$

and if I calculate $ U * P = U$

Or is there a better way to show that?
