Chapter 7: Problem 49
Use the Principal Axes Theorem to perform a rotation of axes to eliminate the \(x y\) -term in the quadratic equation. Identify the resulting rotated conic and give its equation in the new coordinate system. $$x y+x-2 y+3=0$$

Find the matrix of the quadratic form associated with the equation. $$16 x^{2}-4 x y+20 y^{2}-72=0$$
For each matrix \(A\), find (if possible) a nonsingular matrix \(P\) such that \(P^{-1} A P\) is diagonal. Verify that \(P^{-1} A P\) is a diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues on the diagonal. $$A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 4 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 2 \end{array}\right]$$
Prove that if \(A\) is a nonsingular diagonalizable matrix, then \(A^{-1}\) is also diagonalizable.
Solve the system of first-order linear differential equations. $$\begin{array}{l} y_{1}^{\prime}=-3 y_{2}+5 y_{3} \\ y_{2}^{\prime}=-4 y_{1}+4 y_{2}-10 y_{3}\\\ y_{3}^{\prime}=\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad4 y_{3} \end{array}$$
Determine whether the matrix is orthogonal. $$\left[\begin{array}{rrr} -\frac{4}{5} & 0 & \frac{3}{5} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \frac{3}{5} & 0 & \frac{4}{5} \end{array}\right]$$
