To find: 2×2 matrices that are orthogonal and also symmetric and two numbers that can be eigenvalues of that 2×2 matrices.
All 2×2 matrices that are orthogonal and also symmetric are as shown below:
[[cosθ,sinθ],[sinθ,cosθ]] and [[cosθ,sinθ],[sinθ,cosθ]]
And the two numbers that can be eigenvalues of the above 2×2 matrices are +-1
