F i r s t , w r i t e t h e e i g e n e q u a t i o n f o r y i a n d t h e e i g e n e q u a t i o n f o r yJ .
(1) A y J=J B yJ
(2) A y i = i B y i

(5) y J T (A T -A)y i =I yJ T B y iJ yJ T B T y i
F o u r t h , e m p l o y a k e y c h a r a c t e r i s t i c o f A a n d B i n o r d e r t o g e t a n e q u a t i o n t h a t s e t s t h e s t a g e f o r p r o v i n g t h e o r t h o g o n a l i t y s t a t e m e n t f o r B ;
A and B are symmetric (this is what we need to suppose), i.e. A T = A, BT = B so we get:
(6) 0 =I -J ) yJ T B T y i
t h e n j u s t d o i t !
Since I /= J , we have 0 = yJ T B T y i .

Follows directly from equations (3) & (4).
