Question 12704: Linearity in the First Slot with the Second Slot Fixed

Original question and givens

Use B(x,y)=x^T A y over the real coordinate space with square integer matrix A=[[-9, 0], [-1, -1]]. All input vector dimensions must match the matrix. Distributivity proves linearity separately in both slots for all real vectors and scalars; individual integer evaluations illustrate that fixed formula, not a black-box sampling proof. Symmetry, positive definiteness, nondegeneracy and inner-product qualification are additional conditions. u=[1, 1], v=[0, 1], alpha=1, beta=0, fixed y=[-2, 9]. Give (alpha,beta,combined=alpha*u+beta*v,lhs=B(combined,y),rhs=alpha*B(u,y)+beta*B(v,y),equal?).
