Proving the inverse of an orthogonal matrix is orthogonal. (Proof check)

108 Views Asked by At

I've got the following I'm trying to prove and want to make sure my proof is sound.

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ matrix, prove $A^{-1}$ orthogonal.

Proof

a square matrix is said to be orthogonal if its transpose is the same as its inverse, that is if $$ A^{-1}=A^{T} $$ thus, $$ (A^{-1})^{-1}=A=(A^{T})^{T}=(A^{-1})^{T} $$ So by definition, $A^{-1}$ is orthogonal. []

Any suggestions on how to make this better would be great.
