Question 13806: Evaluate a Candidate Bilinear Form without Presuming an Inner Product

Original question and givens

Use the exact real R² candidate B(x,y)=x^T A y with the complete integer matrix A=[[7, 0], [0, 1]]. Bilinearity follows from the formula; symmetry and strict positive definiteness remain separate obligations. For a symmetric 2-by-2 matrix the Sylvester certificate requires a positive leading entry and positive determinant. Positive semidefiniteness or finitely many positive samples are insufficient, and completeness is not inferred. x=[-2, 2], y=[0, 7]. Give (matrix,x,y,value). This evaluation family does not first require the symmetry and positive-definite checks to pass.
