Like the
matrix representation of a bilinear form
, it is
a
matrix
, but now the
matrix
has to be
a
symmetric matrix
.
We
can then immediately see that the
matrix
is symmetric, then so is the form.
We
have:
B
(
x
,
y
)
=
x
T
M
y
(1)
But because
B
(
x
,
y
)
is
a
scalar
,
we
have:
B
(
x
,
y
)
=
B
(
x
,
y
)
T
(2)
and:
B
(
x
,
y
)
=
B
(
x
,
y
)
T
=
(
x
T
M
y
)
T
=
y
T
M
T
x
=
y
T
M
T
x
=
y
T
M
x
=
B
(
y
,
x
)
