Consider the following quadratic forms
q(x1, x2) = 3x1^2 − 6x1x2 + 11x2^2 and
r(x1, x2, x3) = x1^2 − x2^2+x3^2+ 2x1x2 − 6x1x3+2x2x3,
on R 2 and R 3 , respectively. In both cases do the following.
(a) Find the symmetric matrix A representing the quadratic form.
(b) Find a corresponding orthogonal matrix P of eigenvectors of that matrix.
(c) Write down the maximum and minimum values of the quadratic form over the unit vectors (in R 2 and R 3 , respectively).
Please include steps and answer a), b) and c)
