Sketch the curves defined in Exercises 15 through 20. In each case, draw and label the principal axes, label the intercepts of the curve with the principal axes, and give the formula of the curve in the coordinate system defined by the principal axes.
15.
If Ais any symmetric 2x2matrix with eigenvalues -2 and 3, and is a unit vector , what are the possible values of the dot product? Illustrate your answer, in terms of the unit circle and its image A.
Find the Cholesky factorization of the matrix
Consider an orthogonal matrix Rwhose first column is. Form the symmetric matrix . Find an orthogonal matrix Sand a diagonal matrix Dsuch that . Describe Sin terms ofR.
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.
