form. Find orthonormal basis in N ( A) . After that extend this basis to orthornomal basis
in R 4 using vectors from the row space of matrix A .
2. (25 points). Let P a n n matrix with nonzero determinant. Let matrices A and B
be symmetric and related by B P T AP . Prove that B is positive definite if and only if
A is positive definite.
