Let \mathbf V be the m\times3 matrix whose columns are \mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3, and let \mathbf c be the vector whose components are the constants c_1,c_2,c_3. Now consider the matrix equation

\mathbf V\mathbf c=\mathbf 0


Multiplying both sides by \mathbf V^\top, we have

\mathbf V^\top(\mathbf V\mathbf c)=(\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V)\mathbf c=\mathbf 0

More explicitly, we're writing

\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf v_1&\mathbf v_2&\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}

Multiply both sides by \mathbf V^\top and the left hand side can be written as

\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}{\mathbf v_1}^\top\\{\mathbf v_2}^\top\\{\mathbf v_3}^\top\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf v_1&\mathbf v_2&\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_1}^\top\mathbf v_3\\{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_2}^\top\mathbf v_3\\{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_1&{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_2&{\mathbf v_3}^\top\mathbf v_3\end{bmatrix}

We're told that {\mathbf v_i}^\top\mathbf v_j=0 whenever i\neq j, so we're left with

\mathbf V^\top\mathbf V=\begin{bmatrix}\|\mathbf v_1\|^2&0&0\\0&\|\mathbf v_2\|^2&0\\0&0&\|\mathbf v_3\|^2\end{bmatrix}

Each of \mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3 are nonzero, which means their norms are nonzero, which necessarily implies that \mathbf c=0, and so the vectors \mathbf v_1,\mathbf v_2,\mathbf v_3 must necessarily be linearly independent.

mojhsa [17]

f(x) = 2(x)^{2} +5 \sqrt{x+2}

f(2) = 2(2)^{2} + 5 \sqrt{(2)+2}

f(2) = 2(4) + 5\sqrt{4}

f(2) = 8 + 5(2)

f(2)= 8+10

f(2) = 18

4. What affects the size of an angle? A. Its location B. The amount of rotation of one side C. The length of its sides D. The nu
earnstyle [38]
The correct answer is
<span>D. The number of degrees in its supplement

The size of the sides and the rotation is irrelevant and would still keep the angle having the same size. The number of degrees in the supplement decides how big an angle is because the larger the supplementary angle the smaller the angle we're observing will be, and vice versa.</span>

If a coin is tossed and a number cube is rolled what is the probability of getting heads and the number cube shows 3?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the probability of getting heads is 1/2 and the probability of the number cube getting three is 1/6, we multiply.

For every coin flip, there is a 1/6 chance of getting a three. But since there is another condition, we have to multiply. Multiplying both fractions make 1/12.
