I have this matrix A that I want to factorize using SVD.

$ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 2 & 1 & -4 \end{bmatrix} $

And I got the V matrix:

$ \begin{bmatrix} -0.4513 & 0.07692 & 0.8890 \\ -0.3462 & 0.9031 & -0.2540 \\ 0.82240 & 0.4224 & 0.3810 \end{bmatrix} $

But, when I crosscheck using wolfram alpha, the "number" is the same, but column 1 and 2 have the opposite sign. So, the matrix looks like this :

$ \begin{bmatrix} 0.4513 & -0.07692 & 0.8890 \\ 0.3462 & -0.9031 & -0.2540 \\ -0.8224 & -0.4224 & 0.3810 \end{bmatrix} $

I already check my eigenvalue, eigenvector, the normalization, and nothing seems wrong.

The U and sigma component are the same. Only the V component that is different.

Is there more than one possibilities of V matrix? or something probably wrong with my calculation
