Exercise 1.10.5

Answers

When D = Λ1 2 , we have DTΛD = Λ1 2 ΛΛ1 2 = I.

By definition, Q2 is the eigenvector matrix of the matrix DTQTMQD, this matrix is symmetric, so we have DTQTMQD = Q2Λ2Q2T, and Q2TDTQTMQDQ2 = Λ2.

We have ZTSZ = Q2TDTQTSQDQ2 = Q2TIQ2 = I, and ZTMZ = Q2TDTQTMQDQ2 = Λ2. So Z can diagonalize both congruences ZTSZ and ZTMZ.
