A=
−1 0
and use it to find A−1 .
2. Express the quadratic form
Q(x, y, z) = 2x2 + 3y 2 + z 2 + 4xy − 2xz + 6yz

in matrix form Q(x) = xT Ax, where x = y .
3. Reduce the quadratic form
Q(x, y, z) = x21 + 3x22 + 3x23 − 2x2 x3
into its canonical form. Also, find the transformation matrix and discuss the quadratic
form’s nature.
4. Let T : R2 → R2 be a linear transformation defined by:
T (x, y) = (3x + 4y, 2x + y)
