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.

The two spheres above have the same center one has a radius of 2 cm and the other one has a radius of 3 cm approximately how muc
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

79.6 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = 4/3 πr³.

sphere A radius 2 cm so r[A] = 2 cm

sphere B radius 3 cm so r[B] = 3 cm

distance between the surfaces of the 2 spheres is 1 cm

To find volume of each sphere and the difference in volume:

pi r^2 * r - (1/3) pi r^2 * r = (2/3) pi r^3

If f(x) = 3x2 – 12x + 4, find f(–2).<br> A) -40 <br> B) -20 <br> C) 20 <br> D) 40
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x² - 12x + 4

f(-2) = 3(-2)² - 12(-2) + 4

= 12 + 24 + 4

= 40
