Question:
Linear Algebra : Orthogonal Basis
Problem
A. Quote a theorem which guarantees that there exists an orthogonal basis for (with standard inner product) made up of eigenvectors of matrix
A = [ 2 1 1 ]
[ 1 2 1 ]
[ 1 1 2 ]
B. Find such a basis β.
C. Represent the quadratic form Q (x,y,z) = 2 ( x2 + y2 +z2 +xy +xz + yz) by a symmetric matrix. Is Q positive definite?
