Prove that if {x1x2.......xk}isany
Radda [10]

Answer:

See the proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need to proof is this: "Assuming X a vector space over a scalar field C. Let X= {x1,x2,....,xn} a set of vectors in X, where n\geq 2. If the set X is linearly dependent if and only if at least one of the vectors in X can be written as a linear combination of the other vectors"

Proof

Since we have a if and only if w need to proof the statement on the two possible ways.

If X is linearly dependent, then a vector is a linear combination

We suppose the set X= (x_1, x_2,....,x_n) is linearly dependent, so then by definition we have scalars c_1,c_2,....,c_n in C such that:

c_1 x_1 +c_2 x_2 +.....+c_n x_n =0

And not all the scalars c_1,c_2,....,c_n are equal to 0.

Since at least one constant is non zero we can assume for example that c_1 \neq 0, and we have this:

c_1 v_1 = -c_2 v_2 -c_3 v_3 -.... -c_n v_n

We can divide by c1 since we assume that c_1 \neq 0 and we have this:

v_1= -\frac{c_2}{c_1} v_2 -\frac{c_3}{c_1} v_3 - .....- \frac{c_n}{c_1} v_n

And as we can see the vector v_1 can be written a a linear combination of the remaining vectors v_2,v_3,...,v_n. We select v1 but we can select any vector and we get the same result.

If a vector is a linear combination, then X is linearly dependent

We assume on this case that X is a linear combination of the remaining vectors, as on the last part we can assume that we select v_1 and we have this:

v_1 = c_2 v_2 + c_3 v_3 +...+c_n v_n

For scalars defined c_2,c_3,...,c_n in C. So then we have this:

v_1 -c_2 v_2 -c_3 v_3 - ....-c_n v_n =0

So then we can conclude that the set X is linearly dependent.

And that complet the proof for this case.

Solve 9x^2- 17x- 85 = 0 Give your solutions correct to 3 significant figures.​
dybincka [34]

Answer:

x =\frac{17}{18} +\frac{1}{18} \sqrt{3349} OR x =\frac{17}{18} +\frac{-1}{18} \sqrt{3349}

Step-by-step explanation:

9x2−17x−85=0

For this equation: a=9, b=-17, c=-85

9x2+−17x+−85=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=9, b=-17, c=-85.

x =\frac{-b + \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

x  =\frac{-(-17)+\sqrt{(-17)^{2} -4(9)(-85)} }{2(9)}

x =\frac{17}{18} +\frac{-1}{18} \sqrt{3349}

10 points! Solve the equation. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Julli [10]
If x² = 196, then we must do the inverse (square root) to find x. However, the square root of any positive number will always be ± (plus or minus).

That means you have to do:

√196 = x
x = <span>±14. 

We can check this by doing:

14 </span>× 14 = 196
-14 × -14 = 196

Therefore the answer is B) -14, 14.

Dmitrij [34]
Let C(x) be the function which calculates the total cost of making x skirts.

There is going to be a fixed constant, 250, to which we will add 15$ per x skirts.


So C(x)=250+15x

Answer: 250+15x
