Prove that if {x1x2.......xk}isany

Mathematics

Radda [10]3 years ago

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 2x - 11 = k for x.
denis23 [38]
2x + -11 = k

Reorder the terms:
-11 + 2x = k

Solving
-11 + 2x = k

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + 2x = 11 + k

Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 2x = 11 + k
2x = 11 + k

Divide each side by '2'.
x = 5.5 + 0.5k
