Answer:

The answer is 2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you turn 3 3/4 into an improper fraction .To do that you multiply the denominator x the whole number + the numerator = 4x3=12 +3=15/4.

Then you turn 1 1/2 into an improper fraction .To do that you multiply the denominator x the whole number + the numerator =2x1+1=3/2

15/4 divided by 3/2 but get your answer you have to reverse 3/2 into 2/3 and you multiply instead of dividing .

15/4 x 2/3 =15 x2 = 30 , 4x3=12 so your answer will be 30/12 but it can be simplified because they are both multiple of 6 . So , 30 divided by 6 = 5 and 12 divided by 6 = 2 so then you answer is 5/2 but it is an improper fraction so you divide 5 by 2 and you get 2 and a remainder of 1/2=2 1/2

If u, v, and w are nonzero vectors in r 2 , is w a linear combination of u and v?

Tju [1.3M]

Not necessarily. $\mathbf u$ and $\mathbf v$ may be linearly dependent, so that their span forms a subspace of $\mathbb R^2$ that does not contain every vector in $\mathbb R^2$ .

For example, we could have $\mathbf u=(0,1)$ and $\mathbf v=(0,-1)$ . Any vector $\mathbf w$ of the form $(r,0)$ , where $r\neq0$ , is impossible to obtain as a linear combination of these $\mathbf u$ and $\mathbf v$ , since

$c_1\mathbf u+c_2\mathbf v=(0,c_1)+(0,-c_2)=(0,c_1-c_2)\neq(r,0)$

unless $r=0$ and $c_1=c_2$ .
