Vector; normal to the reflection subspace

Description

• 

The ReflectionMatrix(v) command returns the  reflection Matrix, R, determined by the Vector v, where . Thus  and  for all w such that .

• 

In two-dimensional space, the reflection subspace is a line through the origin.  If the equation of this line is , or , then .

  

In three-dimensional space, the reflection subspace is a plane through the origin.
