Question 13824: 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=[[25, 2], [2, 5]]. 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=[1, -1], y=[-4, -11]. Give (matrix,x,y,value). This evaluation family does not first require the symmetry and positive-definite checks to pass.

Step-by-step derivation

candidate real R2 form;matrix=[[25, 2], [2, 5]];B(x,y)=x^T*A*y

matrix distributivity supplies bilinearity;other inner-product obligations remain separate
