Can you find a matrix such that ? Explain.
In Exercise 44 through 61, consider the problem of fitting a conic through given points in the plane. A conic is a curve in that can be described by an equation of the form , where at least one of the coefficients is non-zero. If is any nonzero constant, then the equations and define the same cubic.
45. Show that the cubic through the points can be described by equations of the form , where at least one of the coefficients is nonzero. Alternatively, this equation can be written as . Describe these cubic geometrically.
In Problem 46 through 55, Find all the cubics through the given points. You may use the results from Exercises 44 and 45 throughout. If there is a unique cubic, make a rough sketch of it. If there are infinitely many cubics, sketch two of them.
46. .
Consider the plane . Find a basis of this plane such that .
