You helped me understand a very important topic in Matrices, and I can't thank you enough Dr. Peyam!

Not only did you help me understand this topic, but by coincidence, this exact question with this exact quadratic equation was on my linear algebra final! Thank you sir!

Wow what a coincidence!!

YES! My fave subject! Linear algebra is all about to make our life easier by rotating and stretching everything until we find the best axis reference. Now it's time for the UV decomposition + a good explanation of why statisticians ( :) ) can't live without it (principal component analysis + minimax...even now google is using it with our data :( ). But first my all fave decomposition...which is like discovering the fire again 'cause every students starting to learn linear algebra can "guess" IT MUST BE LIKE THAT. I'm talking about the A=QS decomposition which, in the end, states that each and every single transformation matrix A (m x n) can be expressed as the unique product of an orthogonal matrix and a simmetric matrix! In other words, every linear transformation is just the composition of a rotation/reflection and some stretching! I found it amazing!

Do you know of any videos that explain this? I do pure maths at university but we don't really get taught the geometric interpretation of linear algebra, at least not yet.

There are just so many interesting paths to wander down beyond the typical curriculum. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and wisdom! Your channel is super fun, Dr Peyam!

Really liked your explanation! Please keep up the good work!

I wish I knew this back when I was doing multivariable calculus in UNI :) Excellent video buddy! keep going!

I love your tune, it makes the lesson even more fun!

Thank you sir i actually used to solve this type of question in5-6 mins, after watching this video i am solving it in 10-20 secs.

Love the way you're teaching. Thank you very much

This video is perfectly related to my statistics. For us in statistics quadratic forms are very important.

I think a similar technique is used to uncouple a system of coupled ODEs, which makes solving them much easier.

Thanx a lot sir You really saved me in my semester exams.... Much thànkful tó you

This guy sure loves science lol

I found the video. While i see what you mean, i was wondering if there existed some matrix A (independant of x and y) which could apply to [(x),(y)] and contain some term like xy, or x^2, or if anything of the sort exists. does this matrix behave in a way that mimics such a thing?

nice! a great way to simplify a quadratic.

Hi! I'm Jaime, a particle physicist. I love your videos! Thanks for posting. Just a comment: in this case, the hyperbola should cross the y_1 axis.

Sir after see your video with your confidential smile ...... Felling well for solve the problems of linear algebra Thanks 😊😊

Judging from the eqn in terms of y1 and y2, the graph should be a hyperbola aligns with the new axes y1 and y2

Can this method tell us something about the foci of the conic?

amazing professor!

Thank you Peyam, but I have a question. The original equation corresponds to iperbola that has y=x as major axis. And this should be correct, beacuse rotating the x-y axis counterwise by 45 degrees I get the canonical form of equation with new coordinates

Thanks for helping me a lot !

The formula you were talking about, Dr Peyam, is simply the determinant of the quadratic form. Could you explain how that is, or what that is? If I remember my conic sections right, if the determinant0 then ellipse

@drpeyam

That’s not quite true, the point is that you can tell the nature of your quadratic form by the sign of the eigenvalues. The condition you’re thinking of also involves the sign of the first term of the matrix, and is weaker than the condition I’m writing

Great content, as usual

Really really cool. :-). Thanks !

Could you use some similar technique to apply to cubic forms? But would you need some sort of 3 dimensional matrix then? Edit: And higher degree polynomials

At the end you checked what happens when x = 0. But the same happens for y = 0. The curve crosses y axis in 2 points as well. The graph you drew is rotated when compared to a graph Wolfram Alpha draws. Did you mix the axes on the final picture?

Shouldn't the graph be symmetric in y=x?

@ThAlEdison

I think he needed to plug y_2=0 into the new formula to see that the hyperbola branches away from y_1=+/-sqrt(7) in the new coordinate system +/-(sqrt(7)/sqrt(2),sqrt(7)/sqrt(2)) in the old coordinate system, so it should be opening towards the top-right and bottom-left.

Look up how one diagonalizes a matrix.

And if you plug y = 0, you get x = +/- 1/sqrt(2), because the equation is symetric for x and y. So the graph is symetric about x = y eheh

@MrBoubource

5 жыл бұрын

@Patrick Salhany Well indeed it is also symmetrical about y = -x but it is not needed to graph the solutions of the equation. For the focal axis, I don't see what difference there is between the two since we also have a symmetry about x = 0 (or y = 0) wich transforms one into the other. The only thing that differs between the two could be a left handed / right handed version of the same object if you see what I mean. Chirality to precise.

@MrBoubource

5 жыл бұрын

@Patrick Salhany Oh I see, I guess on the picture he drew the focal axis was x = 0, but since the equation we have is not really a hyperbola eqution, either it has no focal axis, either we need another definition of the focal axis, am I right?

You made it seems so easy you are the best. Thank you very much

@12:41 "even in higher dimensions or anything..." and my face breaks XD so then, with a 3x3 matrix we should be able to classify cubics rights? Finding the appropriate eigenvalues and eigenvectors in three space, Diagonalizing and Normalizing the new basis, This is what allowed you to list off the defining features of the curve, and like you said it would handler whatever translations to the axes were necessary for whatever case. Immediately I want to go to things like to folium of descartes, and factoring cubics in general. I'm sure cardano's formula for solving a cubic in x just falls out of the matrix multiplication somehow!?!? Does it relate in someway to Galois Theory or more simply why a quintic function wouldn't have a general formula to find the solutions?!?! Likely this would be an approach to proving things like " x^3 - xy + y^3 = 0 has no rational points other than the trivial ones" I really should have studied polynomial bases more in lin. alg. this is so fascinating! is this a topic in differential geometry? Always love your work Dr. Peyam Thank you for the upload!!!!
