Answer #1

The symmetric matrix A for the general quadratic form given by

ax2 + by2 + cz2 + 2dyz + 2ezx + 2fxy

is A =  edc fb d afe

In this case, the quadratic form is

2x2 - 3y2 + z2 - 4xz

Comparing it with the general quadratic form, we get

a= 2

b = -3

c = 1

2d = 0 => d = 0

2e = -4 => e = -2

2f = 0 => f = 0

So, the symmetric matrix associated is

A = 0 2 20 -2 0 -3 0 0 1
