Orthonormal base for an inner product with parameters

17 Views Asked by At

So I'm given the following bilinear form over $\mathbb{R}^3$:

$$f((x,y,z),(r,s,t))=2xr+axs+bry+cys+3zt$$

where $a,b,c$ are real parameters and I'm asked to find for what values of them $f$ is a scalar product and I've come up with:

$$a=b$$

$$2c>a^2$$

using the definitions of inner product (is that all one can came up with or I've missed some informations ?) however then I'm asked to find an orthonormal base and I really don't know how to proceed further. I know that I have to computer eigenvalues and so on but I can't really figure out how to deal with the parameters.
