For the quadratic form , find an orthogonal basis of such that . Use your answer to sketch the level curve . Compare with Example 4 and Figure 4 in this section. Exercise 63 is helpful.
Consider the quadratic form
.
We define
.
The discriminant D of q is defined as
.
The second derivative test tells us that if D androle="math" localid="1659684555469" are both positive, then
has a minimum at (0, 0). Justify this fact, using the theory developed in this section.
Show that for every indefinite quadratic form q on , there exists an orthogonal basis of such that , Hint: Modify the approach outlined in
