Prove that if K and L are positive definite matrices so is K + L.
My attempt:
Since K and L are positive definite we have that $q(x) > 0$ and $f(x) >0$ so $q(x) = x^TKx = \sum^n_{i,j=1} k_{ij} x_ix_j$ and $f(x) = y^TLy = \sum^n_{i,j=1}l_{ij} y_iy_j$ so if we take K + L we get that $q(x)+ f(x) = \sum^n_{i,j=1} (k_{ij} x_ix_j + l_{ij}y_iy_j)$ which is also a positive definite. Is this correct or am I way off? Can anyone show me a more simple approach for this proof?
