Since each vector is a member of \mathbb R^3, the vectors will span \mathbb R^3 if they form a basis for \mathbb R^3, which requires that they be linearly independent of one another.

To show this, you have to establish that the only linear combination of the three vectors c_1\mathbf v_1+c_2\mathbf v_2+c_3\mathbf v_3 that gives the zero vector \mathbf0 occurs for scalars c_1=c_2=c_3=0.

c_1\begin{bmatrix}3\\2\\1\end{bmatrix}+c_2\begin{bmatrix}-1\\-2\\-4\end{bmatrix}+c_3\begin{bmatrix}1\\1\\-1\end{bmatrix}=(0,0,0)\iff\begin{bmatrix}3&-1&1\\2&-2&1\\1&-4&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}c_1\\c_2\\c_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\0\end{bmatrix}

Solving this, you'll find that c_1=c_2=c_3=0, so the vectors are indeed linearly independent, thus forming a basis for \mathbb R^3 and therefore they must span \mathbb R^3.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The actual distance between the two rivers is <u>232.5 kilometers</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven:

The scale on a map is 2 centimeters= 50 kilometres.Two rivers on a map are located 9.3 centimeters apart.

Now, to find the actual distance between the two rivers.

Let the actual distance between the two rivers is x.

The two rivers on the map is located apart of 9.3 centimeters.

According to the scale on the map is 2 centimeters = 50 kilometers.

<em>So, 2 centimeters is equivalent to 50 kilometers.</em>

<em>Thus, 9.3 centimeters is equivalent to </em>x.<em />

Now, to solve by using cross multiplication method:

\frac{2}{50} =\frac{9.3}{x}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

<em />2x=465<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

x=232.5\ kilometers.

Therefore, the actual distance between the two rivers is 232.5 kilometers.
