We return to the case where $\mathbb { K }$ is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ be a $\mathbb { K }$-vector space of finite dimension, $q \in \mathcal { Q } ( V )$ and $v , w \in V$ be two distinct vectors of $V$ such that $q ( v ) = q ( w ) \neq 0$.
We want to show in this question that there then exists an isometry $h \in O ( q )$ such that $h ( v ) = w$.
(a) Let $x \in V$ such that $q ( x ) \neq 0$. We denote by $s _ { x }$ the endomorphism of $V$ defined by $y \mapsto s _ { x } ( y ) = y - 2 \frac { \widetilde { q } ( x , y ) } { q ( x ) } x$. Show that $s _ { x }$ and $- s _ { x }$ belong to $O ( q )$.
(b) Suppose here that $q ( w - v ) \neq 0$. Show that the map $s _ { w - v }$ is an isometry such that $s _ { w - v } ( v ) = w$.
(c) Suppose here that $q ( w - v ) = 0$. Show that there exists an isometry $g \in O ( q )$ such that $g ( v ) = w$ and conclude.

We return to the case where $\mathbb { K }$ is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. Let $\left( V _ { i } \right) _ { 1 \leq i \leq 3 }$ be three $\mathbb { K }$-vector spaces of finite dimension and $q _ { i } \in \mathcal { Q } \left( V _ { i } \right)$ for $1 \leq i \leq 3$ satisfying $q _ { 1 } \perp q _ { 3 } \cong q _ { 2 } \perp q _ { 3 }$. Show that $q _ { 1 } \cong q _ { 2 }$.
Hint: one may reason by induction and use questions 17 and 18.

We return to the case where $\mathbb { K }$ is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ be a $\mathbb { K }$-vector space of finite dimension and $q \in \mathcal { Q } ( V )$. Show that there exists a unique non-negative integer $m$ and an anisotropic quadratic form $q _ { \text {an} }$, unique up to isometry, such that $q \cong q _ { an } \perp m \cdot h$ where $m \cdot h = h \perp \cdots \perp h$ is the orthogonal sum of $m$ copies of $h$ and $h$ is the quadratic form defined by $h \left( x _ { 1 } , x _ { 2 } \right) = x _ { 1 } x _ { 2 }$ (introduced in question 6b).
Hint: one may use question 6b and the previous question.
