Expert Solution
Step 1: Analysis and Introduction

Given Information:

A equals open square brackets table row 2 cell negative 1 end cell 1 row cell negative 1 end cell 2 cell negative 1 end cell row 1 cell negative 1 end cell 2 end table close square brackets

To find:

1) The matrix Q comma D.

2) The maximum and minimum values of q open parentheses bold u close parentheses equals bold x to the power of T A bold x

3) The Direction of minimum and maximum occurs.

Concept used:

Any symmetric matrix is orthogonally diagonalizable.

i.e., A equals Q D Q to the power of T, where Q is a matrix formed by the orthonormal eigenvectors as columns and D is a matrix which is formed by the eigenvalues as the diagonal entry.

In orthogonal diagonalization, the maximum value is equal to the maximum eigenvalue and it is in the direction of the unit eigenvector corresponds to it. The minimum value is equal to the minimum eigenvalue and it is in the direction of the unit eigenvector corresponds to it. 

Gram Schmidt Orthogonalization Process:

If the vectors are given as open curly brackets w subscript 1 comma w subscript 2 comma w subscript 3 close curly brackets, then it can be orthogonalized as,

table row cell v subscript 1 end cell equals cell w subscript 1 end cell row cell v subscript 2 end cell equals cell w subscript 2 minus fraction numerator v subscript 1 times w subscript 2 over denominator open vertical bar v subscript 1 close vertical bar squared end fraction v subscript 1 end cell row cell v subscript 3 end cell equals cell w subscript 3 minus fraction numerator v subscript 1 times w subscript 3 over denominator open vertical bar v subscript 1 close vertical bar squared end fraction v subscript 1 minus fraction numerator v subscript 2 times w subscript 3 over denominator open vertical bar v subscript 2 close vertical bar squared end fraction v subscript 2 end cell end table

Now, the vectors open curly brackets v subscript 1 comma v subscript 2 comma v subscript 3 close curly brackets are orthogonal to each other and open curly brackets fraction numerator v subscript 1 over denominator open vertical bar v subscript 1 close vertical bar end fraction comma fraction numerator v subscript 2 over denominator open vertical bar v subscript 2 close vertical bar end fraction comma fraction numerator v subscript 3 over denominator open vertical bar v subscript 3 close vertical bar end fraction close curly brackets are orthonormal vectors.
