Definition1
1) An equation of the form
where , and are real constants, is calles a quadratic equation(이차방정식) in variable .
In matrix form, it can be written as
,
where , and in
2) A linear form(일차형식) is polynimial of degree 1 in variables of form
3) A quadratic form(이차형식) is a (homogeneous) polynimial of degree 2 in variables of form
4) From the definition of a quadratic form, one can see that, fixing a basis like the standard basis for , a quadratic form is associated with a unique symmetric matrix, which is called the matrix representation(행렬 표현) of the quadratic form with respect to the basis chosen. On the other hand any (real) symmetric marix gives rise to a quadratic form .
Remark
Any square matrix is sum of a symmetric matrix part and skew-symmetric matrix part ,
, where ,
For the skew-symmetric matrix , we have
.
Hence, as a real number, . Therefore,
.
This means that, whitout loss of generality, one may assume that the matrix in definition of a quadratic form is a symmetric matrix(대칭행렬).
Definition2
Conic sections have the form of a second-degree polymomial:
That can be written as:
where is the homogenous coordinate vector:
And a matrix representation of :
Theorem1
If , the conic is degenerate.
In mathematics, a degenerate conic is a conic that fails to be an irreducible curve.
In the real plane, a degenerate conic can be two lines that
1. may or may not be parallel, 2. a single line (actually two coinciding lines), 3. a single point, 4.or the null set (no points).
If Q is not degenerate, we can see what type of conic section it is by computing the minor (that is, the determinant of the submatrix resulting from removing the last row and the last column of AQ):
Example) Sketch the graph of and determine what it is type.
