Hello I am given the following problem to solve.
Identify the quadratic form given by ##-5x^2 + y^2 - z^2 + 4xy + 6xz = 5##.
Finally, plot it.
I cannot seem to understand what I have to do. The textbook chapter on quadratic forms simply just forms the matrix of the given equation. Is that what I am expected to do?
It would be nice if someone could point me in the correct direction or link me to a relevant document/article.
