Chapter 8: Symmetric Matrices and Quadratic Forms

Q36E

Page 414

If \(A\)and \(B\)are positive definite \(n \times n\)matrices, then matrix \(A + B\)must be positive definite as well.

Q37E

Page 393

IfA is any symmetric22matrix with eigenvalues -2 and 3, anduis a unit vector in2,2, what are the possible values of||Au||? Explain your answer geometrically, using Example 4as a guide.

Q37E

Page 401

Consider the quadratic form

q(x1,x2)=ax12+bx1x2+cx22.

We define

q11=2qx12,q12=q21=2qx1x2,,q22=2qx22.

The discriminant D of q is defined as

D=det[q11q12q21q22]=q11q22-(q22)2.

The second derivative test tells us that if D androle="math" localid="1659684555469" q11 are both positive, then

q(x1,x2) has a minimum at (0, 0). Justify this fact, using the theory developed in this section.
