Homework Statement
I have this problem, but I'm not familiar with the function notation that the professor is using. Can anyone tell me what is actually being asked? I understand everything up to the part that is in bold, but after that, I am lost.
Let A be a nxn matrix of real numbers, such that A can be written as a product of
another matrix B and its transpose (e.g. A=BT*B). Assuming that B is
nonsingular, show that the function d:RnxRn->R, d(x,y)=xTAy is a vector dot
product.
Some of the formating was lost so Rn is shown as R^n and xT is x transpose.
