The problem asks to reduce the quadratic form (Q.F.) given by:

$3x_1^2 - 3x_2^2 - 5x_3^2 - 2x_3^2 - 2x_1x_2 - 6x_2x_3 - 6x_3x_1$

to its canonical form or signature.

Step-by-Step Approach:

1. Identify the quadratic form as a matrix: The quadratic form can be represented using a symmetric matrix $A$. For variables $x_1, x_2,$ and $x_3$, the matrix will be a $3 \times 3$ symmetric matrix.

   General quadratic form: $Q(x_1, x_2, x_3) = \mathbf{x}^T A \mathbf{x}, \quad \text{where} \quad \mathbf{x} = \begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{pmatrix}$

   From the given quadratic expression, the matrix $A$ will contain:

   • Diagonal entries from the coefficients of $x_1^2, x_2^2,$ and $x_3^2$.
   • Off-diagonal entries for terms like $x_1x_2, x_2x_3,$ and $x_3x_1$.

2. Construct the symmetric matrix $A$:

   • $3x_1^2$ implies the $A_{11} = 3$,
   • $-3x_2^2$ implies $A_{22} = -3$,
   • $(-5 - 2)x_3^2$ implies $A_{33} = -7$,
   • $-2x_1x_2$ means $A_{12} = A_{21} = -1$,
   • $-6x_2x_3$ means $A_{23} = A_{32} = -3$,
   • $-6x_3x_1$ means $A_{13} = A_{31} = -3$.

   So the matrix $A$ is:

   3 & -1 & -3 \\ -1 & -3 & -3 \\ -3 & -3 & -7 \end{pmatrix}$$

3. Find the canonical form: To reduce this quadratic form to its canonical form, we need to diagonalize the matrix $A$. This is typically done by finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $A$, which helps rewrite the form as a sum of squares with new variables.

4. Compute the eigenvalues: The eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ of the matrix determine the signature of the quadratic form. For now, I'll summarize the method:

   • Find the characteristic equation $\det(A - \lambda I) = 0$.
   • Solve for the eigenvalues $\lambda_1, \lambda_2,$ and $\lambda_3$.

   The signature will depend on the signs of these eigenvalues:

   • Positive eigenvalues correspond to positive squares.
   • Negative eigenvalues correspond to negative squares.
   • Zero eigenvalues correspond to missing terms.
