Condition on $lambda$ so that the equation is satisfied












0












$begingroup$


Let there exist real numbers $a,b,c,d$ such that $lambda x^2+2xy+y^2=(ax+by)^2+(cx+dy)^2 forall x,yinmathbb{R}$, then what is the condition on $lambda$?



I think such a $lambda$ does not exist. I got the equations $$begin{aligned} ab+cd&=1\ a^2+c^2&=lambda \ b^2+d^2&=1end{aligned}$$ but am unable to proceed further. Any hints? Thanks beforehand.
