I am trying to follow some notes that state
$$
M=
beginbmatrix
A&B^T\B&C
endbmatrix
succeq 0
Longleftrightarrow
M'=
beginbmatrix
A&-B^T\-B&C
endbmatrix
succeq 0$$

and I want to prove this to myself (just the $Rightarrow$ direction because it's trivial to go the other way once one direction is proven).



Clearly, $
beginbmatrix
A&B^T\B&C
endbmatrix
succeq 0Longrightarrow A,Csucceq0
$

by computing $x^TMx$ (for $x=beginbmatrixv\0endbmatrix$ and $beginbmatrix0\vendbmatrix$) which is $geq0 forall v$ by definition.



Then for a general $x=beginbmatrixx_1\x_2endbmatrix$,



$$
beginbmatrix
x_1^T&x_2^T
endbmatrix
M
beginbmatrix
x_1\x_2
endbmatrix
=
underbracex_1^TAx_1_geq0
+
underbracex_2^TCx_2_geq0
+2x_2^TBx_1geq2x_2^TBx_1
$$



and



$$
beginbmatrix
x_1^T&x_2^T
endbmatrix
M'
beginbmatrix
x_1\x_2
endbmatrix
=x_1^TAx_1+x_2^TCx_2-2x_2^TBx_1geq-2x_2^TBx_1.
$$



Then I get stuck.
