Mrs. Brown has 6 children. The brother is related to all of the sisters.
Total number of gumballs in the gumball machine =
23 + 52 + 34 + 61 + 30 = 200
% of the gumballs being red = 52/200 * 100
= 52/2
<u> = 26 %</u>
Hence, <u>26% of the gumballs</u> are red in the gumball machine
They did not have the materials
Solution. To check whether the vectors are linearly independent, we must answer the following question: if a linear combination of the vectors is the zero vector, is it necessarily true that all the coefficients are zeros?
Suppose that
x 1 ⃗v 1 + x 2 ⃗v 2 + x 3 ( ⃗v 1 + ⃗v 2 + ⃗v 3 ) = ⃗0
(a linear combination of the vectors is the zero vector). Is it necessarily true that x1 =x2 =x3 =0?
We have
x1⃗v1 + x2⃗v2 + x3(⃗v1 + ⃗v2 + ⃗v3) = x1⃗v1 + x2⃗v2 + x3⃗v1 + x3⃗v2 + x3⃗v3
=(x1 + x3)⃗v1 + (x2 + x3)⃗v2 + x3⃗v3 = ⃗0.
Since ⃗v1, ⃗v2, and ⃗v3 are linearly independent, we must have the coeffi-
cients of the linear combination equal to 0, that is, we must have
x1 + x3 = 0 x2 + x3 = 0 ,
x3 = 0
from which it follows that we must have x1 = x2 = x3 = 0. Hence the
vectors ⃗v1, ⃗v2, and ⃗v1 + ⃗v2 + ⃗v3 are linearly independent.
Answer. The vectors ⃗v1, ⃗v2, and ⃗v1 + ⃗v2 + ⃗v3 are linearly independent.
