Mathematics · Bilinear and Quadratic Forms
A quadratic form Q(x, y, z) over ℝ represents 0 non-trivially if there exists (a, b, c) ∈ ℝ 3 \ {(0, 0, 0)} such that Q(a, b, c) = 0. Which of the following quadratic forms Q(x, y, z) over ℝ does NOT represent 0 non-trivially?
- 1Q(x, y, z) = x 2 - z 2
- 2Q(x, y, z) = x 2 - xy + y 2 + z 2✓
- 3Q(x, y, z) = x 2 + 3y 2 - 2z 2
- 4Q(x, y, z) = xy + z 2
Correct answer
Q(x, y, z) = x 2 - xy + y 2 + z 2
