 4. Let $v_1 = (0, 2, 1)$ , $v_2 = (1, 2, 3)$, and $v_3 = (1,1,1)$. Let $V_*$ denote the complete flag associated to $v_i$, namely $V_1 = span(v_1), V_2 = span(v_1, v_2), V_3 = span(v_1,v_2,v_3)$. Find a linear transformation $A$ on $\R^3$, that take the flag $V_*$ to the standard flag (i.e the flag associated to the standard basis $e_1,e_2,e_3$).  4.

   * Let $Q_1, Q_2$ be two quadratic form on $\R^n$, is $Q_1 + Q_2$ also a quadratic form?    * Let $Q_1, Q_2$ be two quadratic form on $\R^n$, is $Q_1 + Q_2$ also a quadratic form? 
   * Let $Q_1$ be the standard quadratic form on $\R^n$, $Q_2$ be any quadratic form on $\R^n$. Can one find an basis $e_1, \cdots, e_n$ that is orthogonal with respect to both $Q_1, Q_2$?    * Let $Q_1$ be the standard quadratic form on $\R^n$, $Q_2$ be any quadratic form on $\R^n$.
