Recall that if we have m vectors u1, U2, ..., um in R", then we can form the matrix A whose columns are u1, ... , Um. Let B be t

he echelon form of A. Most questions have a yes no answer, but I am mostly interested in your reasons for the answer. Give full reasons for all answers. Suppose we are given the following matrix B: (3 0 -1 5 0 0 2 -1 10000)
(a) What is n?

(b) What is m?

(c) Are ui, ..., Um linearly independent?

(d) Does {U1, ... , um} span R ?

(e) Looking at B can you write down a subset of the original set {U1, ..., Um} that would be guaranteed to be linearly independent?

(f) Is there a subset of the original set {u1, ... , Um} that would be guaranteed to span R"?

(g) Write down a b e Rn for which Bx = b does not have a solution.

(h) Write down a b e R" for which Bx = b has a unique solution.

(i) Is there a new vector w E Rthat you could add to the set {u1, ..., Um} to guarantee that {U1, ... , um, w} will span R ?

(i) Is there a column of B that is in the span of the rest? If so, find it (k) Put B into reduced echelon form.

Write down a non-zero solution of Ax = 0 if you can. (m) How many free variables are there in the set of solutions to Ax = b when there is a solution? (n) If you erased the last row of zeros in B then would the columns of the resulting matrix be linearly independent?

Can you add rows to B to make the columns of the new matrix linearly independent? If yes, give an example of the new matrix you would construct.

<em><u>Recall that if we have m vectors u1, U2, ..., um in R", then we can form the matrix A whose columns are u1, ... , Um. Let B be the echelon form of A.

[I'm gonna guess that B really looks like

<em>(3 0 -1 5 </em>

<em> 0 0 2 -1 </em>

0 0 0 0)

and that 1 in 10000 is a typo (as is most of the rest, really).

<u>(a) What is n?</u>

There's actually no n mentioned in the question.  I'll guess the vector space is supposed to be Rⁿ which means A and B are n×m matrices.  So n is the length of each vector, the number of rows in A and B, which I guessed (because the matrix wasn't particularly formatted very well) was three.

Answer: 3

<u>(b) What is m?</u>

m vectors so m columns,

Answer: 4

<u>(c) Are ui, ..., Um linearly independent?</u>

We have a column of all zeros, second one. They can't be linearly independent with a column of zeros because there's always a non-trivial linear combination of the vectors that gives zero.

Answer: NO

<u>(d) Does {U1, ... , um} span R ?</u>

It obviously doesn't span R.  The question probably should be does it span Rⁿ?  All the vectors have a zero as their third element, so so will any linear combination of them.  If we can only get 0 for the last element we can't be spanning the entire 3D space.

In echelon form to span the space we need a pivot in every row, meaning a leading non-zero term.  There's none in the last row.

Answer: NO

<u>(e) Looking at B can you write down a subset of the original set {U1, ..., Um} that would be guaranteed to be linearly independent?</u>

We only have two non-zero rows so our subset has at most two vectors.  We can choose any two of the three non-zero ones, how about

{ (-1,2,0)^T, (5,-1,0)^T }

These are vectors from B. The question is asking for vectors from A, which are what the u's are.   We can't really work backwards to find the vectors from A but we know of the columns are independent from the echelon form they'll be independent in the original A as well.

Answer: { u₃, u₄ }

<u>(f) Is there a subset of the original set {u1, ... , Um} that would be guaranteed to span R"?</u>

Answer: NO

If the full set of vectors doesn't span Rⁿ there's no subset that will either.

<u>(g) Write down a b e Rn for which Bx = b does not have a solution.</u>

Bx is always going to have zero for that last coordinate, no matter what x is.  So

Answer: b=(0,0,2)^T

is impossible.  I wrote ^T because we're after a column vector, the transpose of the vector I typed.

brandon wants to join a video game club. The membership costs $47, and every game that he rents will cost $2.if brandon rents 17
Slav-nsk [51]
If you add $47 to $17 multiplied by two, then the total cost would be $81 because 17 multiplied by two is 34, and 47 added to 34 is 81, so the total amount paid would be $81.

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\

5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k-5=0:\quad k=5\\\\k =5 , k=-3

Jerry has reached 39% of his weekly exercise time goal so far this week if he has exercise for a total of 78 minutes this week.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

his weekly exercise time goal in minutes = 200 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry has reached 39% of his weekly exercise time goal.

so far this week ,he has exercise for a total of 78 minutes this week.

39% of total = 78 minutes

100%= x

X=100*78/39

X=100*2

X= 200 minutes

his weekly exercise time goal in minutes = 200 minutes

1) A water park charges $5 for entry into the park and an additional $2 for each of the big waterslides. Steven spent $17 on his
777dan777 [17]
1.) The answer is A. 5+2x = 17. The x in the equation signifies the number of times Steven went to the big slides. The 5 represents the fixed cost of the slide. The total expenditure in the water park is 17 dollars, and the 2 represents the cost of using 1 big slide.

2.) The answer is still letter A. 5 +2x =17.
