Question: [M] The covariance matrix below was obtained from a Landsat image of the Columbia River in Washington, using data from three spectral bands. Let \({x_1},{x_2},{x_3}\) denote the spectral components of each pixel in the image. Find a new variable of the form \({y_1} = {c_1}{x_1} + {c_2}{x_2} + {c_3}{x_3}\) that has maximum possible variance, subject to the constraint that \(c_1^2 + c_2^2 + c_3^2 = 1\). What percentage of the total variance in the data is explained by \({y_1}\)?
\[S = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{29.64}&{18.38}&{5.00}\\{18.38}&{20.82}&{14.06}\\{5.00}&{14.06}&{29.21}\end{array}} \right]\]
Question: In Exercises 1 and 2, convert the matrix of observations to mean deviation form, and construct the sample covariance matrix.

(M) Orhtogonally diagonalize the matrices in Exercises 37-40. To practice the methods of this section, do not use an eigenvector routine from your matrix program. Instead, use the program to find the eigenvalues, and for each eigenvalue \(\lambda \), find an orthogonal basis for \({\bf{Nul}}\left( {A - \lambda I} \right)\), as in Examples 2 and 3.
38. \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}{.{\bf{63}}}&{ - .{\bf{18}}}&{ - .{\bf{06}}}&{ - .{\bf{04}}}\\{ - .{\bf{18}}}&{.{\bf{84}}}&{ - .{\bf{04}}}&{.{\bf{12}}}\\{ - .{\bf{06}}}&{ - .{\bf{04}}}&{.{\bf{72}}}&{ - .{\bf{12}}}\\{ - .{\bf{04}}}&{.{\bf{12}}}&{ - .{\bf{12}}}&{.{\bf{66}}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)
Compute the quadratic form \({{\bf{x}}^T}A{\bf{x}}\), when \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}5&{\frac{1}{3}}\\{\frac{1}{3}}&1\end{aligned}} \right)\) and
a. \({\bf{x}} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}{{x_1}}\\{{x_2}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)
b. \({\bf{x}} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}6\\1\end{aligned}} \right)\)
c. \({\bf{x}} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{{}}1\\3\end{aligned}} \right)\)
In Exercises 17鈥24, \(A\) is an \(m \times n\) matrix with a singular value decomposition \(A = U\Sigma {V^T}\) , where \(U\) is an \(m \times m\) orthogonal matrix, \({\bf{\Sigma }}\) is an \(m \times n\) 鈥渄iagonal鈥 matrix with \(r\) positive entries and no negative entries, and \(V\) is an \(n \times n\) orthogonal matrix. Justify each answer.
24. Using the notation of Exercise 23, show that \({A^T}{u_j} = {\sigma _j}{v_j}\) for \({\bf{1}} \le {\bf{j}} \le {\bf{r}} = {\bf{rank}}\;{\bf{A}}\)
