$$ A = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 1&1&1\\ -2&1&1 \\ 0 & -1& 1 \\ \end{array} \right) $$ has positive determinant ( I guess they want that ) and $AA^T$ is diagonal. That is, $A$ can be adjusted to give $Q;$ there is some diagonal matrix, call it $D,$ such that $DA = Q$

Or, you can negate the second row and interchange columns one and two. So, not just one answer to the original question.
