∴ (π‘₯, 𝑦) = {π‘˜(0,1)/π‘˜ ∈ 𝑅}

For  ο€½ 1

=

Now,

Suppose π‘₯ = π‘˜, 6π‘₯ βˆ’ 2𝑦 = 0
π‘₯ = π‘˜, 𝑦 = 3π‘˜
∴ (π‘₯, 𝑦) = {π‘˜(1,3)/π‘˜ ∈ 𝑅}

Eigenvalues of A2 are: 12 = 1 and(βˆ’1)2 = 1
...

For example:
(i)

π‘Žπ‘₯ 2 + 2β„Žπ‘₯𝑦 + 𝑏𝑦 2 is a quadratic form in the variables x and y

(ii)

2π‘₯1 π‘₯2 + 2π‘₯2 π‘₯3 + 2π‘₯3 π‘₯1 + π‘₯3 2 is a quadratic form in the variables π‘₯1 , π‘₯2 , π‘₯3
