### Linear Algebra: Positive Definite and Orthogonal Matrices

**Question 1:**

**(a)** Find the condition on \( b \) such that the matrix given below is **positive definite**.

\[ 
A = \begin{pmatrix}
2 & -1 & b \\
-1 & 2 & -1 \\
b & -1 & 2
\end{pmatrix}
\]

**(b)** Find the values of \( \alpha \), \( \beta \) such that the following matrix is an **orthogonal matrix**.

\[ 
B = \frac{1}{3} \begin{pmatrix}
2 & -2 & \alpha \\
2 & \beta & -2 \\
\alpha & 2 & 2
\end{pmatrix}
\]
