It can be shown that the eigenvalues of a are 3 9 and 15


Question: Let A be the matrix of the quadratic form

9x12 + 7x22 + 11x32 - 8x1x2 + 8x1x3

It can be shown that the eigenvalues of A are 3, 9, and 15. Find an orthogonal matrix P such that the change of variable x = Py transforms x TAx into a quadratic form with no cross product term. Give P and the new quadratic form.
