For a given non-zero square matrix if there exists a scalar and a non-zero
vector such that then is called eigen value or
characteristic root and is called eigen vector or characteristic vector.
The set of all eigen values of A is called spectrum .

Roots of Ch. Eqn gives eigen values, for finding eigen vector consider matrix
equation
( ) [ ][ ] [ ]
After putting eigen values if we get any two distinct rows use Cramer’s rule to
get eigen vetor and if all the rows are similar rows then put arbitrary values for
two variables say then separate the matrix in to two matrices one
containing only terms and other only terms which gives two eigen vectors.
1) Find the eigen values and eigen vectors for the matrix

The number of positive terms in canonical form is called index and is denoted by
, the rank of is called rank of the quadratic form.
The difference between positive terms and negative terms is called as signature
of quadratic form and is denoted by
