MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra, Spring 2010
14 Online
From lecture 27: Positive Definite Matrices and Minima In one of the examples, A = 2 6 6 20 So, x'Ax = 2x^2 + 12xy + 20y^2 Supposedly, there is a minima when 2x^2 + 12xy + 20y^2 > 0 and this is supposed to be equivalent to A being positive definite. However, when I take the 2nd derivative matrix of the function 2x^2 + 12xy + 20y^2, I get fxx fxy fyx fyy = 4 12 12 40 instead of 2 6 6 20 Why is this so?
