(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Matrix for the quadratic form: \(M = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\) Eigenvalues \(\lambda\): \(\det(M-\lambda I) = (1-\lambda)^2 - 4 = 0 \implies \lambda^2-2\lambda-3=0 \implies (\lambda-3)(\lambda+1)=0\) \(\lambda_1=3, \lambda_2=-1\) Transformed equation:…
